Very carefully.

What kind of soundcard do you have?

I have a crap stock dell sound card, and the pci card that goes with a seasound soloist

I believe that's a preamp...not a computer recording interface? I believe you need to connect it to a proper interface to use it adequately?

From a review:

Good Points
-Mic preamp is exellent. -knob and build quality is good. -ASIO latency 6-28m -Recoding quality is top class under expensive professional equp. -No latency with Cubase. -Cubasis VST is bundle program. -105db dynamic range. sounds are warm. damping is good. -phantom power -midi and audio meter control -monitor knob/meter Excellent sounds except only 2 input/out put. Legendary synthmaker Tom Oberheim had work for this machine. The circuit of this machine is so impressive. AK4524 Codec chip from AKM semi conductors-highquality circuitc.
Bad Points
-no digital I/O(no PDIF no RCA..) -only 2 analog output -only 2 line input and 2 aux input. However, you can expand using solo expander.

That's a description of the Octopre? I think that's what Kapt.Krunch was referring to....
