Tom,

I'll be putting in multitracks. I've only done testing with it so far, and except for a USB conflict (using USB as the MIDI interface from my keyboard--digital popping occurs unless I disable the USB port), recording 4 tracks has not been a problem. The USB port is using the same IRQ as the Delta Card; moving the Delta Card to another PCI slot will hopefully solve this problem. Otherwise, I'll put Creative SB back into system and use its gameport as a MIDI port.
