Ask a specific questions and you are more likely to get a specific answer back. Yes the E-MU 1212M is real good. There are also other audio interfaces that are real good. I think the E-MU audio interfaces provide great quality, flexability and value for the money you spend.

I use a 1212M and like it a lot. I just upgraded to the 1616m. I would definately recomend it - if it has the features you need.

The best things about it are the DSP Patchmix software and the S/PDIF and ADAT I/O's where you can hook up any preamp that has an ADAT output. I personally used it for travel in my tower in conjunction with my Presonus Digimax FS for on-site recordings.

Actually, I have completely re-done my studio and I have my 1212m for sale if you want it. I can definitely beat out any store price because right now it is merely sitting in its box in my studio. I have all of the original manuals and all. The piece is still in perfect condition. If you wanted to go up from there I also have an 1820m for sale that I can send out for the same price or better than a new 1616m (even though it has two more inputs and four more outputs than it).

However, I must ask: what are you going to be doing with this interface? What other parts will you connect to it? What kind of computer do you own?

ah !!
i forget to tell you that my software is cubase sx3.also if this will be stable with emu1212m?

I only SX3 and the E-MU Patchmix software works seamlessly with it. You did read right. The A/D converters are the same as in the Digi HD192. It really is a super system for its price, ESPECIALLY compared to the M-Audio stuff. IMHO I would not even touch the M-Audio when you have E-MU. Also, the tech support is incredible (unlike that of MOTU).

Coincidently, I've got an EMU1212m, still listed for sale here on RO. (At least I THINK it's still there.) I'm about to put it on Craig's list or Ebay as well.

Not trying to do a sales pitch here, but if you're interested, drop me an email with an offer. There's nothing wrong with it, I just went in other directions with some gear and needed the slot space in the system where it used to live. I have the 2 cards, ribbon connector & CD Rom installer; the original boxes are long gone.

Good luck however you go.
