A Subtil Problem Of Firewire 410! pls Help! thanks., really, has this device a "quality" so cheap... Options

[Anduuu]

Hi there!

I have a big problem with Firewire 410! The MOST important thing about it-->audio recordind/mic preamps, is "falling down"! WHY????......couse:
I expected that this device to record very clear audio tracks, so I to be able to gain them software WITHOUT the big noise gathered with it....
So, I've got a Studio Projects B1 microphone that works perfectely with Fast Track Pro preamps(even when GAIN KNOBS are max pozition), BUT with Firewire 410 it's almost exactely vice versa:
--When I recording it or even I talk to the mic with gain, THIS GAIN has a tinkle sound signal gathered with my speaking/recording....this stuff behave like would be the device signal-to- noise "quality";[/b]
[b]--I made all tests I could (Cubase SX2 audio, Sony Sound Forge, Cakewalk, even real time talking), but all the same---looks like "its higher quality signal sound"!!! I tested with another mic and same issue;
-- my question is>>>is this a real issue of it(and what is it - remember that my device is installed and works perfectely); >>>OR this is ALL THIS BOX CAN DO--I mean FW410 has a cheap audio recordind signal and sound..........
SO, PLEASE elucidate for me THIS problem/mistery....couse I'm tired of it, it brought me down...IT really worth the effort, or I should get out of it (even it's OK and seem to work perfectely on the other hand)???
thanks anticipated,Boan

Anduuu,

No need to get pissed off at me, I only mentioned what I have seen mentioned in this forum about the FW 410. It has had a lot of problems.

I said, I thought you had it right when you mentioned price. Perhaps you can return the FW 410 and use as a trade in, or you can sell it to some unknowing newbee, there are heaps of people who will give you more than the FW 410 is worth.

But, so is the Karma thang, like the nasty remark you left. Grasshopper, "Pleeeeze". Like your gear so are your remarks.

Ok. I had have this same device for more than a year now and just went to M-Audio site in order to download the proper driver (when I upgraded to 0S 10.4.10).
I haven´t had those problems so I guess you should go directly to the retailer or to M-Audio and ask for a refund.....!!
I was looking for a fine interface, but Apogee´s Ensemble was not available at that time, so I bought the 410, and to my surprise, it works fine and do the job I am asking it to do. What can I expect for $299.00 ?
So, come on ,relax and go to the re-seller and tell them what is going on.
We, here in this forum, are not the one to blame for your bad luck or whatever malfunction have your stuff.
