Recording Mixer to Digital Interface... bypass mixer faders?

Hello,

I've been recording for a while and I'm trying some new equipment out and I'm a little jammed.

I have a 24x24 SoundCraft Spirit Mixer and a PreSonus Firepod.

I want to run from my snake into the Soundcraft mixer (for use of it's great preamps and eq's) and the run lines out of those channels into my firepod (bypassing the firepods preamps).

M-Audio Firewire 410 drivers... not supported

I hate to be so lame with such a low post count, but... I have an M-Audio Firewire 410. I also have Vista x64. I know, I know, who wants to use Vista for recording. Well the answer is that I do. I really find it weak that an OS that has been out for so long is not supported. I'm not talking about Vista. They don't even have XP x64 drivers. What gives?

Burnt Toast

What is so great about Toast? I remember it being on our studio computer at school way back. Can your burning software effect the end result of your songs overall sound?

If it does, explain in laymen's terms.

I just use the regular mac software. I have a Fostex CR300 stand alone CD burner, which I never use because I can't seem to get it to sync to my MBox 2.
