I wish I could get the Profire 2626, but i just cant afford it. ANYWAY, M-Audio has another interface i was looking at the Fast Track Ultra 8R. I dont NEED the ADAT now, so the fact that it doesnt have it is no problem. Has Octane Pres, which ive only heard good things about. I dont care that its USB, because it does all tracks @ once unlike some other USB interfaces.
The main reason I wanted something by M-Audio is the fact that id like to mess around with Pro Tools 8.
Has anyone here ever owned this unit, or knows how they hold up?
Here is the specs on it:
24-bit/96kHz professional audio on all I/O simultaneously
high-speed USB 2.0 interface
