As the title of the thread states... ProFire 2626 vs FireStudio 2626. I am looking to buy a high end interface soon and have been reading a lot of reviews on the potential units that I may buy.

I'm replacing my firepod and really only require one input at a time so the two front instrument/mic inputs on either the box or the studio mobile should be more than fine.

I own a PreSonus firestudio project. Have had it for about 2 years..
When i turn the unit on..the clip lights are maxed out for channels 1 and sometimes 2. It plays a high pitch beep when it turns on too...

Any ideas whats wrong?

I found a Focusrite Saffire pro 10 on craigslist being sold as is. I got the guy to drop it down to 50 bones however there would be a 250 dollar charge to fix it from Thermal Relief. Should I buy this since in itself it is a steal? Or should I buck up and save for a PreSonus Firestudio Tube or even a Focusrite Liquid Saffire?

I'm shopping around for a bus powered 2-channel firewire audio interface for my MacBook Pro. I currently own a M-Audio Delta 1010 that I'm very happy with. I've read everything I could find about the following 3 interfaces which I believe to be in my price range and offer what I'm looking for.

My Goal:
I run live sound for bands, and would like to be able to offer a decent live recording of the performance (mobile).

Well, I have a Firebox and had a small problem getting it to run as my default audio device in Vista 64. I have a dual boot PC with Vista 64 on one drive and XP 32 bit on the other. I record to Cubase SX3 on the XP drive, but figured I'd use the Firebox for sound on both channels, so I can use my monitors to listen to music, etc.

I have recorded a couple of CDs for fun at my house and am serious enough about it that I recently upgraded my pre to a UA LA610 because I got a really good deal on it used. I recorded this last CD on a PreSonus Firebox and it worked fine except that tracks were often interrupted because of hiccups while recording.

Hey guys, I have setup my Reason 4.0 software and am looking for the right interface. I have read other forums and decided on the PreSonus FireStudio Project Recording Interface. However, there are two options, the Factory B-stock (399.99) and the Standard (499.99). Due to my budget I would prefer the 399.99. Could anyone tell me the difference between the two and which one is worth it?

This is a new issue that has reared its ugly head a few times.

Here is the signal chain:
Kick > Beta52 > Focusrite ISA 428 > PreSonus Firestudio (Insert Ch1) > PC (Cubase SX3). I run an XLR > 1/4" from the 428 to the FS insert.
