Wow, this list works fast! I love you guys! I have an offer for an RME Fireface which looks like it will work. (Thanks, Kevin!) I think I'm going to go with that unless the Lynx Firewire card pops up somewhere. If anyone has a stash of Female-XLR to TRS cables or some extra light pipe cables, let me know.

A point of clarification, since I confused at least one poor soul with my email:

My laptop can do Firewire (via a cardbus card). I just don't already have a multichannel audio doodad that can also do Firewire. My Aurora converter doesn't do Firewire out of the box, but there is a card you can install in the Aurora to make it Firewire capable which is what I tried to buy. Specifically, this thing:

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm supposed to be recording this Superchunk, Rosebuds, Birds of Avalon show at the Cradle tomorrow night. The show is a benefit for Cy Rawls and the recordings, if they turn out, will be sold on CyTunes (http://www.cytunes.org/) which also benefits Cy Rawls.

In order to record the show tomorrow I bought a firewire card to go with my Lynx Aurora 16 A-D/D-A converter. This would give me 16 channels of input straight into my laptop. Unfortunately I chose to buy this card on ebay and even more unfortunately the asshole I bought it from chose to sit on his dick for almost a week before shipping it. (Pardon, my French--I'm more than a little stressed right now.) So the card is en route but is not slated to arrive until *Saturday*. Fuck me.

If anyone has one of these cards laying around that I could rent for an evening, that would be *AMAZING*. Alternatively, anything that got me up to 16 channels via Firewire would work as well. I do actually know of a person, through James Hepler, that could bring a PreSonus firepod. This is an 8 channel unit but they can be daisy chained together, so maybe someone else out there has another one we could use?

I'm also going to be looking around at what can be purchased locally with the intent of flipping it on Ebay/Craigslist for hopefully not too big of a loss.

If you can help, the gods praise you. My contact info is below.

Thank you!
Chris
