Anyone know anything about AE's Sonic Blaster?

The description looks pretty neat, but des nayone actually have one of these
yet?  What's your opinion?  Is it any better than your average digitizer
programs?

I've got a Sonic Blaster in my machine and haven't had any complaints with it
other than an occasional error in the software.  The digitizing software is
easy to use and comes with an adequate manual explaining how to install both
the card and how to use the software.

My only real complaint with the Sonic Blaster lies with the fact you must
adjust the volumn from little pots on the card in the machine under the cover
under the System Saver under the monitor!  How about something in the control
panel guys?

Also, you'll find that many of your favorite games do not utilize stereo and
you'll only get sound from one channel.  Maybe AE should include dual channel
mono sound in this fictionalized control panel entry I'd mentioned in the
above paragraph.

All in all I like it!
