perhaps,
though i wouldn't be surprised if it was a case that most people haven't done a loopback test yet.

Well, it's totally up to you, but I would never use the Profire on Windows again, unless M-Audio claimed the issue was fixed (they know about the issue and haven't released a fix). But, I have another interface to use instead, and wouldn't have to use the Profire, so maybe my opinion is irrelevant haha

Whats a loopback test?

It seems like people keep voting for the Profire 2626 in the poll, but not posting to support it 
Yeah I thought that was a bit strange....maybe its just like following the lemmings?
I bloody hope not! Im waiting for the money to come through for my interface then I gotta order the new one....so ive got a few days left to decide.

Yeah, well regardless of the actual results of the poll, I would always follow what people say in the thread more than poll results.

I'll guarantee that at least half of the Profire votes were from people who have never used either device, but were merely parroting popular opinion.

Cool, ill be using it with Vista 32bit if anybody has any experiences with the pair? :Smokin:

I don't think it matters an awful lot. Both units will do the job just fine and by the time the quality of the pres or conversion are a problem you'll have moved on to bigger and better things. If you're working smaller scale, the pro 40 might have slightly better pres, if you're looking for more expansion for larger projects then the extra inputs on the profire will be important. Horses for courses and most people will never stretch these units to their limits anyway.

FYI, I just got this from Focusrite
As I said from the beginning
So the whole "Yeah it will be bypass when you run it through the line in" is a total fail.

that's a bit of a fucking cop out of a line input. Just attenuate and chuck it through the mic pre? That's bullshit!
The profire does bypass the pres with it's line inputs which is (another) real move in its favour in terms of expandability using higher end pres without extra D/A
I've used my Profire on Vista 64bit, XP 32bit and 7 64bit. Only bluescreens i've ever had have been from accidentally knocking my firewire expresscard out and then plugging it back in, and even then it's only 1 in idk, 40 times.

Ironically enough I was just typing that my LS56 still gives me the occational bluescreen....right as the screen went black and I was greeted with that very problem!
So its decided, Profire....theres a 30 day policy on it so if it totally guffs on me all the time then ill take it back and get the Saffire but otherwise ill be keeping it.

Where you physically connect an output to an input and record 1 full wave form (sorry not 100% on what that one up and down is called :Spin
to see if there is any latency that is not being computed by your software.I did a loop back and cubase was a whopping 2 samples off
(sarcasm).Similar threads
