Hi folks,

The quick question in the title a little clarified in detail:

I'm about to bring my homerecording setup into a more functional shape. Computer-wise, I'm using XP and Cubase SX3. All prices are German street prices, in case you wonder...

For an interface, I have nearly settled on a PreSonus Firestudio (€777), together with the MSR (€189).

Hey, I've been lurking around here for a little bit now and have a question for the general recording public.

How do you guys feel about the PreSonus XMAX preamps? Where do they fall in the grand scheme of mic preamps?

Hi everyone, my first post! I am getting my son either MBox 2 PRO or the PreSonus firestudio project. I have the specs from the compays, but which is a better quality interface and which software will be easyer to learn. PreSonus comes with Cubcase le and M box 2 PRO comes with Pro Tools le and lots of plugins.
We do not want to be limited in expantion in the future.

I'm thinking of buying a firewire soundinterface in the likes of PreSonus Firestudio, mostly because of the expandability with the ADAT connectivity. Thing is, for a poor sound engineering student like me, that's a lot of money. I'd gladly put out the money if it's an interface i can do with for some time.

Hey guys. Id like to let you all know, this forum is very informative, and the people are very smart.

Which one and why? And are they both compatible with a mac?

Lets say I have a PreSonus FireStudio & DigiMax FS setup for a total of 16 mic preamp/channels.

I don't see any Line level inputs on the FireStudio.

How do I connect other outboard pre's w/ a line signal? What kind of cabling do I need?

i purchased a firestudio and am running it off a macbook through firewire and it works fine in garage band and picks up on the digital mixer but when i open cuebase le the light starts blinking blue and red and dosent pick up in cuebase le but still receives something in the digital mixer does anyone what I'm doing wrong my aI'm is evenafterdeath22

Hi all

I've been happily using my PreSonus firepod for almost 2 years
But I'm tempted to buy the Firestudio, because it has zero latency mixing / direct outs and ADAT.

The weird thing is the firestudio is already for sale,
but the PreSonus site doesn't even mentions it.

Does anyone already have any user comments?

Cheers
