<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Nick,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought an Edirol UA-5 a few months ago and
eventually returned it to the retailer (i took of that 30-day money back
gaurantee because ultimately it wasn't the right product for my needs).
Here's a breakdown of my experience with the interface:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. If I started PD with the -noresync flag, I
could eliminate SOME of the clicking noises.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I was never terribly successful using PD
with ASIO with the Edirol interface. the UA-5 could only support ASIO
drivers on either the input OR the output. So, If I stared PD with the
-asio flag, then I had to also use either -nodac or -noadc. That was a
real drag.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(I don't know if the UA-1A supports simoultaneous
INput and OUTput with the ASIO drivers.??)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Ultimately, I returned the product and
bought a MOTU 2408mkII. It's about 2.5 times the price of the edirol
unit..but I can use 24 input and output simoultaneously with ASIO --but on the
downside, it doesn't have a mic pre-amp like the UA-5 had.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know if this helps you at all and I
understand that you're using the UA-1A which is different than the UA-5..but I
thought I'd share my experience anyway.</FONT></DIV>
