Pat Azzarello Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I'm thinking about going Firewire for the audio interfaces in my "Soft synth" PC. I was originally leaning toward the Audiophile 24/96, but after talking with Busch today I realized that I need to have a multihost interface so I can use Gigastudio AND other soft synths. The M-Audio 410 seems like a pretty good deal. Anyone have one? Feedback? Anyone out there have other recommendations in the lower end of the price spectrum (<$500).

Dan South Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I've had good luck with the MOTU 828, but I've heard that it's not the best for Wintel systems. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Hooper Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I am using a Firewire 410 with my Mac OS X. It sounds very clean. In playing back older mixes, I notice more detail in the sound than before. The record inputs are clean as well; I dont have to pump up the input to this device like I had to with my last interface. The only problem is that I use a Glyph and an OWC firewire drive, and it will not work on the firewire chain with those devices! I am ordering a firewire 400 to 800 cable to put the 2 drives on the FW800. We will see what happens, and I will post the result. M-Audio has been excellent in conversing with me on this issue, so I am sure it will be fixed soon.
