  I'm sorry, I meant I've been using XP and Cubase SX for a little over a
year. I built the P3 system well before that.

  You're right about the upgrade. I'm just not sure I want to invest in
something that could continue to be an imprefect solution. I don't mean so
sound so bitter. It's just, I want my life to be about music creation
instead of p.c. configurations and software issues. I'm starting to wish I
kept my ADAT and built onto that system. Who knows, it may not have worked
out any better. It just seems that I spent way too more time with my set-up
(pre Multiface) than I did in the creation process. I do enjoy engineering
sessions and producing, I just don't like trouble shooting.
