after 2 + years struggling with
my Presonus Firebox and issues with it I am considering "upgrading" to a MOTU Ultralite Do you use one? what are you're thoughts? What software do you use with it? does it function properly every time? I am running a iBook G4 1.2ghz 1.25GB Ram but often get poping and clicking and other digi noise with the firebox, I NEED reliability! and record live shows in the field There for I need a reliable unit that can function (by battery) with lack of "wall" power... any insight would be very helpful thanx -- Ian -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

I did exactly what you consider doing. I moved from a Presonus Firebox to a MOTU UltraLite.
The Firebox only gave me trouble. Often it went out of sync and drivers seemed to be unstable. A second replacement unit finally went up in flames. Now I have a MOTU UltraLite and so far it performs flawless!! |
