This isn't really a Logic question, but I think it affects enough of us Logic users to still be valid. Forgive me if I'm mistaken. I was excited about the upcoming UAD Xpander until I thought through the actual configuration. Most people have their external firwire drives and firwire audio interface on separate busses, right? As far as I understand this is the best idea when using both. However, that means using a firwire card which of course goes in the PCIexpress slot. So, then there's no place for the UAD Xpander. Does anyone have any ideas to get all of these things connected? I considered just using the internal sound when using the UAD but that's not a very good solution because at that point I'm mixing and I need to hear the best sound I can. I hope there's a way to get this going because I love my UAD plugins and it would be great to have them while on the road, not just at home. -Xavier

I have one that I use for my PC laptop (Cardbus) and G5 (PCI) and will be getting an express 3/4 card to use it with my MBP. Then you can use a PCI based audio card as well, and much better option than a FW audio interface.

Yeah, I think you may be right George. I was hoping for a smaller solution, but this may have to be what it ends up being.
