Presonus FP10 -> M-audio Profire 2626?

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

I've got a Firepod and FP10 running together, and I notice the Firepod runs with lower latency than the FP10 at all the same settings. I don't notice a difference in sound, though.

I don't know what to do...For the price I'd get selling both Firepods, I'd only be able to buy 1 Profire, so it'd have to be worth losing 8 mic inputs!

Well, the 2626 sells for 394e at DV247.com, and I got 280e for selling my Firepod. Add an ADA8000 to that (160e) and the total price is about 560e, which you could get from selling the Firepods

I bought the profire for 394 and an Octopre Le + adat expansion card for 350€ from dv247.....very good deal.
And they work great! This weekend I'll record some drums

best price I've found in the US is around 600, and on ebay the Firepod is selling for 200-275...So, I'd still be short a bit.

For you dudes who have had a Firepod and swtiched to a Profire, did you notice any difference in tracking with the DSP mixer vs. using the standard mix knob (playback/inputs) on the Firepod...The DSP mixer has me worried about latency. Should I not be worried?

I don't think I should, but the options for the Profire and sound routing are sooo different, numerous, and cool. But I don't want the ease of tracking and all that to change.

I'm not going to have to line up takes or anything will I? (I use Nuendo, BTW).
