RE: APS effects
Dale,
You can use APS with another card provided the other card isn't a piece of junk with drivers programmed by drunken chimpanzees. But yeah, even with good components some PCs are very uncooperative little bastards so I can see where you're coming from.
As for the SRC issue with APS, yes it's a problem but then again for the price the APS is one outstanding product. Maybe it is not a true "pro" product...but again, for the money it is THE best thing on the market IMHO. Just remember, record and mix everything at 48kz until you are ready to 'master' to CD (i.e. in Soundforge or whatever.) A SRC UP to to 48 from 44.1 isn't really a bad thing.
As for switching to Soundfont, that's a bummer but over time that will absolutely work in your favor. Besides, Emu is selling boatloads of great samples for almost nothing.
As for the effects, they are described accurately above. Look for future enhancements as well.
Happy recording.
