Dp3 And Multiple Sound Cards, Looking for info on Asio cards and DP3 Options

[jopey]

Hi,
Wondering if anyone here is running 2 or more ASIO cards with DP3.
I have the delta 1010lt and would like to have more channels available.
I can only use 6 of the 8 analog inputs as the first 2 inputs have XLR
inputs that are too hot...when I go to the delta control panel to adjust
their levels the signal is still too hot. I occassionally record small rock
bands and need a few more ins.

I was thinking of adding a Motu firewire 828.....but I use a Glyph firewire
hard drive to record on and was concerned to use firewire as an
input and output point.
I'm not eve sure if I could run the delta and 828 simultaniously.

The other choice would be to bite the bullet and invest in a 2408 or something
like that I guess...but I already have the investment into the delta card.

Any opinions would be very helpful.
Oh..and by the way......This group is just amazing......
I've learned more about DP here than with my manual.

ps....do you think MOTU will make the 'by the end of the year' deadline
for the OS X DP ??? Here's hoping. DP is my LAST app to port to OS X!
