The rumours of E-MU dumping the current product line are bogus. True, they have announced new, additional products for the laptop to compliment the desktop PCI audio interfaces as well as new keyboard controllers.
The E-MU 1820 is a real professional digital audio product and not your daddy's soundblaster. There is so much power and flexability built in to the product that it has a higher learning curve to take advantage of it's capability. Many to most of the people that have problems with it are don't have DAW's that are powerfull enough or properly configured and/or are down right stupid idiots that have no clue on what there doing in the first place or those that are usually trying to use the product in ways it was not designed to be used such as playing DVD movies, MP3's and games. All of which are non professional audio applications.
The E-MU 1820M along with the EmulatorX sampling software is the most flexable and productive product right out of the box that I have ever encountered. While not perfect, and having some issues as any 3rd party product that runs under windows has, it is still a joy to use and hear everytime I use it. My primary use is as a idea and songwritting tool, it interfaces perfectly with my project studio and yet is up to par on it's own to be used without powering up the whole studio.
