For users of the Aardvark card... I have created a forum on my website where you can exchange information, drivers, etc.

Help. I'm having problems getting my Aardvark Q10 to work with Cool Edit Pro 2.1. I had CEP working fine with a Soundblaster card, but when I got the Q10, I tested it out for recording and playback, and both worked, although I didn't have a chance to really use it. Then my computer crashed (related?) and I haven't been able to get playback to work since.

Assuming they did go out of business--which seems probable--is it a bad idea to buy Aardvark products at this time?

Yodermr1 had posted that driver updates for the Q10 could be gotten from his site, so other than Aardvark's being remiss in terms of tech support?

Thanks.

I have had my aardvark q10 for about 2 years now, and now that the company is out of business, I am in desperate need of driver updates. If anyone has driver 7.13, 7.04, or 7.0 and could possibly send me an e-mail with it I would be greatly appreciative.

thanks,

ryan

i am having difficulty reaching Aardvark by e-mail and by phone. Are they having financial trouble?

any information that might help me get in touch with them is greatly appreciated.

Would there be any difference in the mic preamps on the aardvark q10 compared to the PreSonus firepod?

We just bought a 3rd Q10, and upon installation, suddenly began to have the following problem:

When the Aardvark Manager is opened, it works fine *until* we view the mixer for the 3rd card. Then, within minutes of having that screen visible, the program crashes, and also prevents us from reopening the program, or any other audio programs, until the PC is rebooted.

I have two Aardvark Q10's and like them a lot. Up until recently I had never tried to "offload" sounds from them onto other media (in this case digital audio tape on a DA-88) so the "background" noise that was coming out of the monitor and the other 8 outputs never really bothered me. It didn't get into the recordings either so that wasn't a problem.

Ive been wanting to upgrade my studio with API, great River and UA pre's and a whole bunch of "high end" compressors and EQ's. Im a still a bit confused with the A/D thing here. I dont want to use the the Aardvark A/D convertes (they are not that bad but I want more). I was thinking of geetting the Apogee Rosetta 800, but how do I send the signal into my PC if I dont have the Aardvark Q10 ?

Can i get anything a litte cheaper? I've been searching but can't come across anything. I need something that can run 8 tracks at once...10 tracks maximum. Any help would be great.
