I recently discovered this mixer and it blows me away reading the manual and stuff. It would make a great mixer for both live and in the studio. 16 channels straight to a computer through firewire, oh man I would love to record live shows like that. Ultimately I think this is what I'm saving up for. Does anyone dislike this mixer or have any comments on it?

OK guys...it was suggested in another topic for a new Interface
to look into an M-Audio Audiophile Pre USB for my computer.

What about an Audiophile Firewire?

And what about the E-Mu 1820 or 1820m?
Ever since I saw one of these, I've become rather enamored of it...

Now remember...these are just for V-O...no music recording and no simultaneous I/O...

Is there any way you can hook a firewire hard drive directly to a firewire interface and record without the need of a computer?
I was looking at the 3 motu's, firepod, and fireface.

My Inspiron has one iLink port and I've added a 3-port firewire pcmcia card. Unfortunately, the iLink port was damaged and the connection can be lost if the cable is nudged.

The Echo Layla3g Audio Interface is at least $100 less then their new
Firewire version (AudioFire8).

I dont have a portable need for Firewire. Is there some technical reason to
stay with PCI?. Does the PCI version use less CPU overhead then a Firewire
would?

Any thoughts?

Hello,

My M-Audio Firewire Solo card seems to be the cause of an unavoidable consistant feedback. I am running 1/4" plugs from my turntables through my Mackie then into the M audio solo. The M Audio card is connected to my laptop through a firewire 800 cable. Im confident its not from the source (turntables) because I have recorded from vinyl using these tables through other sound cards.

i'm going to be using a PreSonus firepod with a laptop, 1400 MHz processor, 260,000 KB RAM, and i'll be working with the version of Cubase that comes standard with the firepod. the laptop only has one firewire port (which the firepod will be connected to), the firepod has two, one of which will obviously go to the computer. a few questions:

I've been having many problems with the two since I bought them about a week ago. I've solved many of them but there is still this one that I cant fix. This is what happens, I'll record my drums in Cubase SX...then I'll try to edit it or add eqs and effects to it.

Hi,
Im thinking of buying M-Audio's Firewire Solo to use with my laptop as a mobile setup, however the laptop only has USB sockets. Im wondering if anybody has succsessfully used a FW to USB conversion jack in this type of situation
regards
