firewire

[Tachy]

Hi guys, for the nex year I think to buy another firewire audio card, I put my eyes at this:

What do you think about it??

I would love to have that monster

go for it.

On the other hand, I find it hard to believe the pres and converters would be as good as the Fireface 800 - with the Mackie it seems like you're getting more bells and whistles (preamps on all channels, 4 headphone outs, etc.)

 

[Tachy]

ummm do you think fireface 800 is better?

 

[Metaltastic]

I would certainly think so, yes, but I don't know for certain, though it's proven to be kickass by guys here (OzNimbus, for one)

firewire is going to be a lot faster in the future btw: http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/12/15/firewire.s3200/

ummm this is a very good thing, but you must have a firewire audio card that support this hig speed.
