Picking up a Profire 2626 so....

[AdamWathan]

I agree completely, but that's why I go for the inexpensive ones (by companies such as Voxengo, Apulsoft, etc.,)

Massey plugins are cheaper than dirt, best value in the entire world of audio engineering. I haven't actually bought MHCS or McDSP Analog Channel yet, Channel Strip will be my next purchase though. For now I am totally content with my stock Digi plugs + Massey CT4, Tapehead and L2007, I really don't need anything else. CT4 is easily my favourite compressor I've ever used.

Honestly dude I could never convince myself to pay more than $150 for a plugin, ever. MHCS is like 3 or 4 plugins in one though, so paying $200 for it doesn't irk me quite as much

Wow, I didn't realize the Masseys were that cheap tbh! (cuz I totally agree on the $150 price cap)

Not to derail this thread any farther.. But do ReaEQ/ReaComp really sound worse than more expensive plugs?

 

[TheDriller]

ReaEQ is a fine plugin, but i personally don't like ReaComp

 

[Metaltastic]

I've always liked ReaComp, seems totally transparent, which is good enough for me! (and I really like the range of attack times as well as detector high-pass option)

 

[Melodeath]

If you wanna pay through the nose for all the plugs you'd wanna use with M-Powered, then knock yourself out!

Explain?

 

[Metaltastic]

Well just that IME most plugins available in the RTAS format cost more than those that are VST or VST/AU only, but I guess the Masseys are an exception!

That's why when I get my 2626 I will try PT too.

Anyway, I wanna ask my question here instead of creating a thread :

They say on the MAudio site that they recommand a Texas Instrument 1394a Firewire port. Do you know which good one I can buy if there is any that is recommended, or do you recommend sticking to some noname brand for a firewire port ? I know nothing about firewire, I never had one, so I don't know
