Mackie blackbird/tracktion

Hi,

I have just setup a new HP computer based on AVIDs "requirements" in conjunction with Pro Tools 9, Focusrite Sapphire 56, and a Mackie Blackbird. All computer settings have been set as Avid recomended on their Windows 7 Optimizations setup.

This is the first time using Pro Tools but I'm on day 2 with everything up and running and recording except...

Anyone hear of this? It's supposedly a new product in the Onyx line. Good/bad reviews? I'm always skeptical when a company known for having a good line of gear comes out with something 'new'.
