Presonus makes pretty good products, and their current "Fire" line-up is strong... I use the Inspire (entry-level) strictly for recording vocals and it came with Cubase LE... the interface itself works excellent, is simple to use, and has been trouble free... Cubase LE is a lot more intuitive than I expected, and has had no problems working with multiple plug-ins, I use the Waves Diamond bundle... I can guesstimate that the "grown up" Presonus products are very good as well...
lucky me i have a friend working in a market that sells equipment to ''music shops'' etc.Originally Posted by Kris Cain
( whats its called?? warehouse for shops or w/e, you get the point ;p)
i can buy cheap via him, no tax etc. and buy in prizes.. and on zzzounds its like 1100$ atm.. the RME f800..
obviously the edirol doenst cut it, so i have to look in another prize range or towards the same prize range as the edirol but than with a product that does ''cut it'' going to look in to the differences of the RME & the Presonus to see if its really make a that big of a difference in what i am going to use it for.. both are good candidates i think though.

We use em in my college in the Cubase lab... theyre ight. If you wanna record through it Id suggest an M-Audio firewire solo... its a tiny bit cheaper and although both clasim to do 192k I have personal experience that the M-Audio firewire allows a better recording. This is probably because it has better A/D convertors

Cubase 4 is almost fine... its not as bad as Windows Vista (lol)... actually I dont think anything is.
Dont get Cubase LE. Thats fucking unstable. I was using it today (I got stuck with the last PC... the only 1 that doesnt run SL3/4. Its soooooooo fucking annoying. Sometimes the snap doesnt work when douplicating loops. It also doesnt have a lot of the stuff that SL3 has like the time-shift which Cubase isnt bad for (Pro Tools is better and Ive heard of a plugin that does it very professionally). LE is free I think but he'll be able to get a crack copy of SL3 for free or maybe $5 on ebay... if not Ill send him it for $5.

he wants to record instruments. He's lookig for multiple inputs. I'd pick between the M-Audio 1814 (which I have and love), PreSous Firestudio (Which I've used and like a lot so far), RME Fireface 400 or 800 (which I haven't used but everyone raves about).
the firewire solo is a shitbox
based solely off the fact that the headphone gain knob is fused to the master gain.
Welcome to reality.
also look at the RME Multiface, the Mackie Onyx 400F, and the Echo Layla G
Welcome to reality.
Forgot about Echo. They're like an obscure company now lol. I worked with that interface in a studio in Baltimore. Great interface. The Mackie onyx would be great if you could use it in any of your damn programs.
Its ok for the price... better than the Edirol anyways. M-Audio make good interfaces though so yeh the 1814 is kool
