I'm on a search for a clean sounding and versitile sound card. It'd be nice to have midi channels on it too, but not totally nessesary. I realisticly can only see utilizing about 8 tracks at a time, more than that is probably overkill. But most importantly, I'm thinking it'd be handy to have built in pre-amps (and firewire?). Due to me rack mounting my desktop PC, and I want to be ultra mobile, and ultra slick.
Now I was looking at the presonus FIREPOD, but I read only 2 of the 8 ins are at line level, and also that it's made not too rugged like. Also I took a guander at some Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 828MKII 24/96 and others like it... still I find ify reviews and that's why I'm (hear?) HERE!!! Please submit your opinion, and experiences you've had!!! What's the best buy and why? We all know we can expect to run into SOME issues with ALL gear... But I'm talking about very reliable, and VERY CLEAN sounding gear -- okayyyyy.... you goooooooo, NOW.[B][COLOR=blue] |

I'm sure your mic ins would have more presence if there WHERE mic PRE'S on it! Go ahead and look at the presonus FIREPOD. It's brand spanking new, and has amps in it. How else are you going to achiev a LINE LEVEL signal going into your computer, without some kind of DI amp boostage?
NEXT! |
