hi, i am trying to make my mind up between the firebox by presonus and the saffire by foucsrite. i would like to hear ur oppinions. i want something that i could travel with but when i get home i can hook it up to monitors, a mixer and everything else there is in a home studio.

QUOTE (rickenbacker @ Sep 19 2005, 13:04) Both are good interface and both do what you want. The Saffire has a higher possible sample rate (192 vs 96), but really 96 is high enough. FWIW, I preferred the FireBox and yes, I have had both on my desktop at the same time. Don't be swayed by the Focusrite software alone - it's not so amazing that you'll never use another compressor/EQ/reverb/amp sim ever again. thank you very much for responding. i really want the firebox and i had my heart set on getting it too. then recently i found out about focusrite saffire and it looks amazing and it has a few more features, except it doesnt stack  . whos idea was that!?! i wonder, how much bigger is it from the firebox? i really care about sound, unfortunately, nothing has really been said about saffire and i heard that firebox crackles and that really scares me b/c i want full blown crispy albums from my basement. oh, and just another thing, why do u perfer the firebox more?
