xp64 and an m-audio fast track pro

just would like to know if the m-audio usb unit would work in an xp64 quadcore running tracktion 3

. .sombody told me that usb devices do not need specific drivers for the os? but this doesnt sound right to me...but I'm not sure.

i cant seem to locate xp64 drivers for the m-audio and i havent had a chance to try it with xp64 yet.

Thoughts on a particular piano.

I don't have the room or the funds right now to get a grand piano and i'm saving for a c-7, but for now I need an acoustic piano. Is anybody familiar with the Yamaha U-1. what are your thoughts on it. I've herd them live and was very impressed at their performance for an upright piano, but do they record well?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Korg MR-1 / MR-1000 or Konnekt 24D?

Dear guys,
I'd like to replace my old ESI U24 soundcard with something newer and I was very interested in the TC Electronic 24D with built in effects, 4 channel input plus a variety of digital i/os. But yesterday I find out two interesting 2-channel recorders, the Korg MR-1 / MR-1000, which are capable to record in DSD mode...

These come highly recommended from everything I see so I gave them a good listen while shopping. I have to admit, they seemed kind of wooly/overly full in the lows/low mids to me. It seemed that it covered up the higher frequencies a bit. Am I just used to monitors that are a long way from flat or is this really the case? I tend to mix 2-4k a little too forward as is.
