First of all I use Cubase 5 on vista 64 bit (soon windows 7 64 bit) So please point out to me whether one of them aren't even compatible.

I want the best sounding card I can possibly get that will make an Avalon preamp sound as good as possible and have worth while features.

Hi. I am plugging an SM7 mic into the FF800 which is connected to my laptop via a firewire 800 express card. I'm runnng Reaper. My issue is I have to crank up the gain on the FF800 really high (almost max) in order to get a signal on Reaper.

This doesn't seem right. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Hello to all in Recording.org Forum!

I am really new in this forum and I want to ask if someone worked already with this combo:

RME Fireface 800 + Dell Inspiron 1520

Hey,

I'm finally getting time to start working on my new studio. Ya! Ten years has passed since I upgraded from PT mix.

I'm using a Fireface 800 (oo la la) and Sonar 8 loaded into the new Rain ION 64 Octo Core, 16 gig of ram Vista 64. This system was tested and tweeked specifically for Sonar 8 Producer by Cakewalk. This should be fun.

Hey there,

I'm using fireface 800 with Samplitude v9 on a vista home premium os laptop. I can't get channels 1 & 2 to route. Channel one (set to front and back) works with the instrument input but not the TRS. I'm guessing it's an easy fix but don't have a clue what to do. Any help is appreciated. Also a URL for a good OS optimization webpage would be cool. Thanks.

I just sold off the old gear I knew so well. So now I'm committed to using the new fireface 800 with my Nuendo setup. In my previous setup with the Yamaha dsp2416 cards the hardware mixer and routing for the card could be accessed directly through Nuendo/Cubase. Changes could be made on the fly.

Anybody tried both? The Mackie unit seems to have a few more routing options and has more preamps - though quantity of preamps isn't really that big a deal for me. Any impressions of the comparison of quality of pres and converters of these two units.

I know, I know, I shouldn't even be thinking about this while I'm pissed off at my digi 002R...but I am.

I have a Fireface 800 and a Black Lion 002 with the Tweak Head Mod. I think they both sound very nice. The so called pro's at guitar center keep telling me that they are not even close to the Apogee stuff. My question is how do these units compare to Apoogee gear?

and loving it so far!

In the process of trying to scale down, I'm moving to Firewire and a laptop instead of Lynx AES 16 cards and a desktop and monitor...
