Hello! I've happily owned a MOTU 896 HD for the past 2 years. Recently, it decided not to power up. I've checked the fuses and they seem fine, so I will have it serviced, providing the cost isn't too ridiculous. However, in the event that it isn't salvageable and I need to buy a new interface, is the $1000 896 any better than the $599 Firestudio?

Pros and cons for either?

What is are the primary differences between the two?

The FP10 is at $400 at musiciansfriend.com, while the Firestudio Project is $500.

Side question: Would I be better off getting one of those with the Brick pre-amp/DI, or would should get the FireStudio Tube?

hey I'm just wonder if the PreSonus FireStuio work with pro tools
I'm thinking about getting it but i have no idea if it works with pro tools

I've just about had it with the issues between my FireStudio Project and Mac OS X Leopard so I've decided to sell it and buy MOTU. But before I do I was wondering what you guys think of MOTU and Leopard and if you've run into problems or just what you think of MOTU in general.

Ive got Sonar 8 running with my Firestudio project, and when used in either WDM or ASIO mode I can only getting one stereo input (which are mics 1 + 2). I've been trying to fix this but had no luck.

I'm planning on using ASIO mode, since that seems to be the easiest way. When I set everything up it won't let me select my inputs in the driver tab! heres a pic:

I posted this in another section, and then after posting it I realized I should of stuck it in here... Here we go!

Hey all. I have a problem here. I believe its with the configuration on my Mac.

I am thinking about purchasing a PreSonus Firestudio for my home studio. I currently have an M box 2 pro with Pro Tools le 7.4 and was wondering if the Firestudio would be compatible with Pro Tools without having to go through the m box. I feel like it should but I'm not sure. Thanks for the help

Hello all,

I am having some issues getting my PreSonus Firestudio 26x26 to work with C4.

I updated the firmware and all on the FS, and made sure all the updates are good on the C4.

I have been building computers for about 6 years now, usually I am lucky enough to have them run like champs everytime.
I have a friend thaT OWNS A STUDIO HERE AND i BUILT A high end pc for around 3500, it has the best in hardware, memory of 4 bgs, etc... all things that Personus requires is way below this Pc's specs..
