My Goal:
I run live sound for bands, and would like to be able to offer a decent live recording of the performance (mobile).

I purchased a PreSonus firebox with Cubase LE 4, and I installed it on my windows vista OS, I got everything to work fine it's just that it seems that the input seems low, any tips on how to fix that and tips on how to use Cubase?

Well, I have a Firebox and had a small problem getting it to run as my default audio device in Vista 64. I have a dual boot PC with Vista 64 on one drive and XP 32 bit on the other. I record to Cubase SX3 on the XP drive, but figured I'd use the Firebox for sound on both channels, so I can use my monitors to listen to music, etc.

I have recorded a couple of CDs for fun at my house and am serious enough about it that I recently upgraded my pre to a UA LA610 because I got a really good deal on it used. I recorded this last CD on a PreSonus Firebox and it worked fine except that tracks were often interrupted because of hiccups while recording.

anyone see this thing yet?

i just sold my Onyx 1640 in order to fund this upgrade. next to go: tons of rack gear i won't need.

i'll let you guys know how it works out once i get it.

Hey guys, I have setup my Reason 4.0 software and am looking for the right interface. I have read other forums and decided on the PreSonus FireStudio Project Recording Interface. However, there are two options, the Factory B-stock (399.99) and the Standard (499.99). Due to my budget I would prefer the 399.99. Could anyone tell me the difference between the two and which one is worth it?

ok so. i bought a firepod last fall and its been working great since ive owned it. today i tried to finish recording guitar with a friend only to realize it isn't working correctly.

the setup...
fp10.
HP laptop with a 6 to 4 pin firewire cable
cool edit pro
1 mxl condeser and a nady drum mix through the firepod

I am recording with the PreSonus Firebox and it sounds decent. I am sort of coming to the conclusion that AD converters contribute more to a truly professional sound than a preamp or mic once you overcome a certain ultra budget level. Basically, the first component I might want to upgrade are my converters and then go from there. Emu coverters seem to be of a higher quality than the Firebox.

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?

I just ordered the PreSonus Studio Channel in hopes of increasing the quality of my recordings. Any of you guys out there have a chance to check this thing out before? Let me know what you thought if you have!

I'll let you guys know what I think of it once I go through it.
