and,
I tried both inst and mic/line and new driver and configs, and eventually realised the crappy PC and laptop i was using are getting closer to the recycling yard.
Upon trying it on a way faster PC, it was plung'n'play, windows 10 just new what to do and it works fine.

do you use any interface of any kind for recording?

Thanks and Cheers

Not really designed for fishing, though I'm sure you could do at a pinch. You can hire them with a rowing dinghy, which would probably be better to fish from. However the rivers are pretty busy, and boats have a right of navigation over fishing, so you'd be spending a lot of time reeling in and casting again. There are a few reaches on the rivers which are theoretically closed for fishing before 9am on a Sunday, and some areas are a lot quieter than others. But fishing is best done out of the hire season (which is April to October), or else early or late in the season when there are relatively few boats around.

I've got an old MOTU Traveller as my Audio Interface (which still does the job) and use Cubase Pro 8.5 on a 2 year old i7 PC with 16gB RAM and 3 SSDs, though I don't do an awful lot of recording with it these days.
