Thanks. Will consider it.

Are the VU meters supposed to move ? I mean, I use an AT2050, phantom
power switched on, everything else normal, and with an acoustic guitar,
although the sound is OK I find, the VU meters do not move. Much less
the 'tube' meters. I can make them move if I sing gvery close to the
mic. Also, with the 1010LT card I set the output (at the back) at
-10dBV. I assume the jumpers ont he 10101LT are at the default
position.
