...the Saffire was completely unusable due to the fixed minimum gain setting on the preamps that were being consistently clipped by drums, even with the gain turned down all the way.
Prism Sound Orpheus because you get the boom when you pay bucks.
RME Fireface 800 because 800 is a bigger number than 400

Yeah, this is probably one thing that really pisses me off actually. I've started using it for guitars, oh/ride/hat and vocals and the 8Pre for snare/kick/toms because it has pads on every channel. I honestly don't know why they didn't throw that feature in there, would it really have been such a hassle???

Even then though, I think I would grab a Profire 2626 anyways because it has individual phantom power and pads IIRC and ProTools compatibility is never a bad thing.
no budget?

Sounds dumb.. but i would love to clip one of those lavry ad's haha
Hmm, some of you seem to rate the Apogee Duet pretty high... I've been thinking about switching my FP10 for one now that I'm on a Mac. Would that be clever? It would be really easy to carry around and I usually just use one or two inputs at a time anyway. Or should I just stick with the FP10 until I can afford a FF400/800?
anyone knows if i can cascade the 2626 to like 3 units? software and hardware wise?
1. RME Fireface 800 ($1800) - smokin' converters and midrange clarity. Marcus: The 400 and the 800 don't have the same converters, so that's the main reason to go with the 800
