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.

Hi,

I am having a problem with my Firepod / Cubase / PC setup. I frequently get a situation were my firepod stops playing audio and I have to reboot.

I am running a:

AMD Sempron 2600+ 1.84 GHz
2 GB RAM

Cubase SX 3

Firepod

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1

All my drivers are upto date

I just bought a firepod and I'm having some trouble with it. Can I use it as a mixer as well? I hooked up the speakers to the Firepod and the volume was real low. Is it mixed from the computer then sent to the speakers?

Anyone ever own or use a Firepod? It seems to fit with what I want for my system, but wanted to hear about any positives and negatives from people who have actually used it.

Thanks

Hi guys, I'm new here.

I'm to the point where I need to upgrade from Garageband using a used MBox with no Pro Tools---into something a tiny little bit higher end.

I need more XLR inputs for full band recording. At least 8. I'm definitely on a budget.
I'm not using Pro Tools, because it's just too expensive and limiting in the 4 input, 32 track max Digi LE setup.

Hey guys, I was wondering which one of these I should get. The extra $100 isn't a HUGE deal, but here's the thing:

I record my stuff alone, and at most I would be singing and playing guitar at the same time. This only takes up 2 inputs. Do you think that I should get the firepod with 8 just in case I need it? Or the firebox with 2 inputs and $100 less?

Would i be better off getting a fire pod than a Alesis fire wire mixer/interface

Hi everyone, could not make the firepod work on my pc no matter what I tried, so I'm going to purchase some new parts, processor and motherboard and install the 2gig ram from my non-firepod compatible PC.

Okay, really desperate here, I would really appreciate some help as I've tried everything.

Been trying to work out the PreSonus firepod for the last 3 months, but nothing worked.

Here are the symptoms :

well when we decided to plugin a 3 bulb lamp in the same circuit my firepod was pluged into I believe it got some kind of power surge or something. It blew the circuit and now my firepod won't turn on. boy am I stupid.
