I know users on the forum have had this audio interface. Maybe try doing a search and see if anything comes up. I know people have been pleased with them, but I've never used them.

I recently purchased the Multimix12 Firewire and am in the process of learning how to use it's features. I initially had issues getting the ASIO MultiMix drivers installed. The install from the CD went smoothly, but when I went to install the newest drivers from Alesis, everything went very wrong. The update included a firmware update for the console. The firmware upgrade went smoothly. I then turned to the driver update. Let me just say this... the instructions from Alesis are not the best in the world. After the update was installed, Cubase VST Inputs dialog box would appear, and then instantly disappear. I was never able to get this resolved, so I've rolled back to the drivers from the CD and everything is working now. If you are considering using MIDI, the MM12 is probably not what you want. It has no MIDI capability at all. Any questions you have, send them my way, I'll do my best to answer them.

This isn't as big of an issue as it used to be. Most MIDI devices these days are going with USB. However, if you do happen to need to use devices that use the old MIDI 16 pin port, you will need a MIDI interface of some kind to get into the computer.
