Pros: Low noise, inexpensive, easy-to-use
Cons: Mix outputs only to 2 channels, startup noise from hell
The bottom line: Best bang for your recording buck!
We needed enough tracks to record drums. We also wanted something that was relatively noise-free, and that recorded 24-bit 96 kHz. Even that much sampling is overkill but what the heck? The Delta 1010 fit all of our needs.

We could have went with the 1010LT but there are lots of reports that it easily picks up noise from nearby computer parts. Since the Delta 1010 (non-LT) is an outboard system it stays away from those noisy computer circuits! We haven't had a glitch yet in our 4 months of using the system.

The card was easy to setup and is STILL being supported with driver updates from M-Audio. They haven't really released another PCI interface card because the 1010 is just that darn good!

The control panel interface was also easy to setup. I did read the manual just to make sure everything was a-okay but if you are familiar with audio hardware you probably can get by without it.

We are using a Mackie VLZ-3 mixer hooked into the Delta. The sound is nice and crisp...just the way musicians and engineers like it! "This ain't no M-box!"

There really isn't much else to say. M-Audio delivered a no-frills product that is both excellent and inexpensive.
My issue with the card is that I wish you could have more than 1 mix going through the outputs. We had to hook up splitter cables so talent could hear their mix. We could have just sent outputs 1 and 2 but they NEED a click track that our DAW software provides. So...really that's my only gripe.

Oops...almost forgot about this one:

Warning: Do not turn on your speakers (especially powered ones) before your computer is booted up. Or when restarting your CPU TURN YOUR SPEAKERS OFF! What we refer to as the "noise from hell" will be sent through your speakers and (although it hasn't happened to us yet) may blow your tweeter or woofers.
