Fairlight-CMI

Peter,
I am very exited that you have a modern working
approach to solving the sound issue.
A modern solution is ultimately probably better for
many reasons. As long as the results are equal or
better than the original.

As most audio people, I'm also a Mac guy, but if it's
to the benefit of using the CC-1 card, and actually
getting what we all want sonically. then PC is no
problem for me at all. Sound comes first in the
priority list. 

Sign me up!
