New Hardware from Steinberg
- Thread starter HeadCrusher
- Start date
looks like cool stuff. not a cubase user, but i like seeing gear thats tailored for your daw. that kinda integration is sweet!
Two things that came to my mind when I saw that:
1) How much is it gonna cost?
2) Dunno if it's only a good thing to have hardware that's so focused an a single platform.

I'm not a cubase user either, but these are indeed sweet.
I've seen dealer pricing on them and they cost a couple hundred $$ less than I expected.

Actually, I think it'll work with any DAW - from the brochure: "Includes ASIO and CoreAudio drivers as well as additional external software mixer and plug-in editors for using with 3rd party audio software." Anyone have any idea what the price is gonna be? I'm guessing $600-$700 US

Hmm, that seems actually really, really cool. I'm interested in the pricing, too. Maybe it's time for me to ditch the trusty old Firepod

Its actually more than that, but less than a 003.
Street price for the MR16csx will likely be about $1200 and the MR16x $999
something like that.
A bargain I tells ya.

These are available now.
Prices (Europe): € 375 (CC121), € 759 (MR816 X) & € 1,145 (MR816 CSX).
Does anybody else feel like they dropped the price for Cubase 4 lately? (It's only € 548 now, Cubase Studio is € 344.)

fireface 800 or the tc electronics 48 still seem like a better deal because of the expansions for them
still looking for somethign comparable to the hd system without spending 15000

56 and 48 channels total on the rme and tc , more than one digital input especially adat inputs and outputs ...............the ability to use 2 or more interfaces for expansion
edit
i just watched the video you can stack up to 3 of the units so that would be 56 channels total IO
not bad i might be interested in this for my mobile rig replacing the 3 firepods.
pretty kool if it works with other daw's besides cubase, im not a fan of the layout at all coming from protools and audition.
here a video of some of the features http://www.steinberg.net/index.php?id=1168&L=1

I dig it. Looks like you get what you pay for too. Too bad it's about 5 years ahead of my skill level. LOL

Looks nice but I think I 'll stick to my 10$ keyboard, my second-hand emu 1616m and its powerful software mixer.

What are your thoughts on the Interface shootout posted on Steinberg's site?
http://www.steinberg.net/fileadmin/redaktion/zip/interface_comparison.zip
I listened to the files in my daw (all tracks muted except the original file and then I click solo on a particular interface track so the music continues uninterupted) and really tried to focus on the differences. I also ran the original file through 2 inputs of my interface. Some of the interfaces seem to narrow the stereo image a little and also suck some higs and mids away. However, the more I listened to the files the more I realised there's at least a thousand things that can affect the sound you record and/or the sound you hear and some of them can be really cheap (DIY broadband absorbers for example) .
