It's been brought to my thick-headed attention that the V-Studio 100 isn't just a Cakewalk Sonar thing, but in fact is cross plaform, that is works on PC and Mac, and includes effects and instrument for both platforms as well. More fun for everyone.

Just wanted to give holla' yo (ironic inflection doesn't come across well on the interwebs) to the new Cakewalk V-Studio 100. I'm not a PC or a Cakewalk guy, but it really is an impressive little box of audio toolkit. In addition to being a six analog in/out+SP/DIF digital I/O USB audio interface, it's got two mic pres, a motorized a fader, a knobs/buttons control control surface for Sonar... it can also act as a standalone mixer with reverb and compressors and, get this, it's a two-channel SD card audio recorder with files transferable to the host computer via USB. Admittedly not the kind of thing I usually get all frothy about, but if you're a Sonar-type, this is a pretty darn handy box.
Here's a video of really British guy Alan Branch talking about it:
