I have now owned the IO|26 for 3 months and although I have not been able to completely record a project yet I can see this piece of equipment has promise. The mic preamps sound very good and the vocals I've recorded with my Rode NT1 have come through crystal clear. As far as recording instruments, so far I have only been able to record bass and synth modules with this unit but I have recorded without any problems on all 8 inputs at one time. I am using Sonar 6 with an AMD +3800 64 bit CPU and 1 GB of RAM. I have experienced the occasional dropout in Sonar but not in Cubase LE which comes with the interface. Also with Sonar the unit only seems to work only with the ASIO drivers so for anyone who has upgraded to Vista I would hold off on buying this unit because what I have heard so far is that ASIO drivers will not work under Vista. Until I see something to the contrary I will not upgrade to Vista. When using the Alesis drivers with Sonar I have not been able to record successfully at all but they work just fine with Cubase LE. Since I have been a Cakewalk user for the last 15 years I'll probably just stick with what I know because Cubase does not seem to be as intuitive.
