Well... I've been poking around with my new audio interface.
It's in pristine condition and mostly works great (the SPDIF interface isn't working but that most likely has to do with my computer's firewire or a need for a firmware upgrade...) but now that I have it and put it in my rack, there are a few things that are plaguing me with buyer's remorse.

It is *just* shallow enough to fit in my pop-up mixer case rig, but only if I unplug everything first. one of the things I liked the most about my setup was being able to open my case and go, and I won't be able to do that with this.

I also found myself immediately wanting to treat it like a mixer, which it's not. This makes me think that what I should have been shopping for was a mixer with firewire capability instead of a straight up interface. There are a few that look promising that are less than what I paid for the presonus. I'm a little hesitant about that, though, 'cause my last experience with a digital mixer was really not good, and I do really adore the simple little mixer I have now.

So, I might be putting the presonus back on the ebay, but I'm not sure yet. I should be able to get back what I paid for it, at least.

If I replaced it, I'm looking at something like this guy:

Hrm.

Thoughts, gearheads?
