I don't need a device with all kinds of inputs, I'm not going to be recording audio but I do like using virtual instruments.

I'm looking for a simple not too expensive soundcard that will give me the best latency when running software like Reason that has good 32bit Vista drivers.
The Echo Mia Midi has been recommended to me a few times and it looks like they've taken making Vista drivers seriously.

If any of you use the Echo Mia Midi (especially in Vista), what kind of latencies are you getting in Reason 4 and other software?

I've been using the Echo Mia 24/96 for about four years and it works fine. I use the asio output most of the time and the latency is a non issue to me. You can buy these cards for about $125.00 now. I paid around $200.00 for mine. I think you'll like it.

I've found it for $139.00 (CAD) at http://kellysmusic.ca and so far it's the best price for anything of that quality that I've found in Canada so I'm assuming I probably won't find it any cheaper.

I'm pretty sure I want to buy it.

They have it for $129.00.

Considering the Canadian dollad and the US dollar are the same right now that price is better but I'm not sure how the tax would work if I buy something in the US.

Now that I've looked around It seems like they don't even ship outside the US.
