What software are you guys using? I have a Behringer Ultragain Pro-8 Digital and a MOTU 828, with a very fast PC.

I am currently running a Behringer Ultragain Pro-8 Digital (mic preamp) which is going Digital Optical out into a MOTU 828 which is then going firewire out into my computer. As for software, I am cheap, and I feel like an idiot saying this here but I'm running Cool Edit Pro 2.0. . Oh and BTW I'm running Windows 2000, so yes this is a PC.

Hey gang, I'm looking at the RME fireface and the Tascam 1884 for my new setup. I'm needing a firewire interface so that I can go from PC to Laptop.

The differences are obvious, but I was wondering if anyone can comment on the sound quality between the two?
Like how do the pres and and converters compare?

I'm guessing that is 800mbps? the old standard was 500mbps?
I've got a laptop, my only complaint is that it doesn't have firewire. I've seen PCMCIA adapters with firewire ports. I think they were 500mbps.

Do they make 800mbps? Is 500mbps fast enough to track 8 stereo channels?

I went onto the m-audio website and according to one of the diagrams it says that since it has 2 firewire connections that you can connect the audiophile to your computer via one firewire and that you can connect a firewire external hard drive in through the other one? Am I interpreting this right and does anyone know if this will work?

Hello,

Has anybody tried or heard comments about the new Apogee Firewire X card for Rosetta 800 ?

I am a newbie, lurked here for a month, no luck in finding out best way to add firewire to my system. Also would really appreciate specific card/wire recommendations for daw application.
This is what I have or is on the way (ordered):
PC 2.6G Celeron...can I limp by w/celeron until Pentium upgrade?
ACPI Uniprocessor
intel 82801DB
512 ram

Hey
My upcoming question:
In quality is there difference between an external recorder connected by USB or connected to a firewire card? Are there any obvious differences which apply to all products?

THANKS

I'm recording rock/pop music (focusing on drums) on my Powerbook thru a MOTU 896 and I'm looking to make some upgrades. pre's first, then possibly converters.

So who else is out there on a Mac recording 8 channels (or more) thru a Firewire interface. ? What are you using, what have you upgraded to/from and how is it all working for you?

any help would be great, new to this stuff- caleb
