What do you guys think? While im at it, what about pro tools LE vs. m-powered? From what i understand, theyre almost exactly the same. What are the differences?
Presonus Firebox, MOTU Ultralight or Focusrite Saffire are all excellent firewire interfaces with better preamps than you'll find in anything by m-audio.
I never realized that about the buffer rate. That's a good point. I'll be getting a macbook pro at the next update, hopefully june, so im not too worrried about having enough power.
I own several MOTU cards and a Presonus Firepod; the FW 410 was the university's card (2 of them actually). I used the 410 with Logic Exp and Pro (depending on what machine they were hooked up to), Cubase, and a slew of other audio apps (Peak, Reaktor, Max/MSP, CSound, etc.). There were some early driver issues with the 410, but I think most have been ironed out by now. Some of the issue is Core Audio recognizing interfaces like it should.Just curious, did you use the 410 with another program other than pro tools? Is that what you got it for?
