  theaudioandvideoguy's review "I took the ProFire everywhere"

  Characteristics

  Any M Audio interface is going to be very good to use, they are well built and will work with almost any daw. So when using the M Audio ProFire 610 I already knew what to expect out of it. It ended up being my main interface for a while. I did experience some lag with it on my pc laptop running Windows XP but I was able to over look that because of the quality that I was getting when recording with analog and digital signals. This is the perfect device for the mobile musicians or someone who moves around a lot. This is one of the better mobile devices you can have. There are plenty of smaller mobile devices but this one will give you a great sound.

  Utilization

  The M Audio Pro Fire 610 is probably the best mobile fire wire device that I have used since I went digital years ago. I was just going to get a USB interface for my set up. So I was looking at another M Audio interface that was USB until someone told me to check this one out. So I checked it out decided to purchase it and the rest is history. I still own this to this day, I still use it a lot too. I don’t used it all the time, but for most of my on the road laptop stuff this comes with me.

  Getting Started

  Manual was not needed, I don’t think I have ever even opened it. I was having some issues getting my software to recognize the interface, but that was just a small hump and It got worked out in no time and was no longer an issue. All the features of this interface are very easy to use, and its very easy to install.

  Overall Opinion

  The sound quality is great, I loved the quality that I was able to get just from hotel rooms when using the M Audio ProFire 610. It has really gave me the true at home experience no matter where I was at.

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Pofri 6/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  Mobility and price.

  Utilization

  During the installation different drivers appeared: network card.
  
  
  
  Clear user's manual.

  Getting Started

  I have a crackle problem which I can't solve yet (my last recordings were rendered useless because of these noises).
  
  
  
  The unit seems to have problems at 96 kHz sample rates.
  
  
  
  I use it with Cubase 4 to record my acoustic guitar.

  Overall Opinion

  I've had it for one month.
  
  
  
  Customer support recommended me to have the unit replaced.
  
  
  
  I think this product was not ready to hit the market.
  
  
  
  If I could I would buy another product.

  External synth
  
  Making voice

  Utilization

  Everything is stable through a PC stable already.
  
  I'm on Windows XP

  Getting Started

  Any particular concern.
  
  Just as I put a Belkin PCI firewire card to be on not having to worry because in general are not Firewire INTEGRATED top.

  Overall Opinion

  Uitlisation for 4 years.
  
  So did various projects is a remix album.
  
  Value / Price impeccable.
  
  I have another M-Audio Fasttrack Pro USB and there is not the same story.
  
  Less stable than the 610.

  sebyy's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  For me this card is really very flexible:
  
  Bcp output (10)
  
  8analog 2numerique
  
  4 entry: perfect for me.
  
  2preamp.
  
  be of good quality dac / adc 182khz/24bits!
  
  
  
  For me the hardware configuration is perfect for my use.

  Utilization

  Stable drivers:
  
  Hmm ... I had problems with on different 3pc. I do not amerai this sound card for live.
  
  Home about Windows 7, I lost my outings 1fois/jour average. I have to réinitilisé the windows driver.
  
  To me this is the big downside of this card drivers.
  
  The last update of March 2011. And it is far from perfect level stability at home.
  
  
  
  I use most often guitar rig:
  
  about 20ms of latency (limited by my CPU I think).
  
  
  
  The sound is excellent.
  
  
  
  Track simulatané nb:
  
  @ 2 @ 192kHz 20ms in cubase.
  
  
  
  0ms includes monitoring with DSP.

  Getting Started

  The installation is done it without problem?
  
  yes the installation goes well. attention on win xp, we can not plug the card hot ..
  
  
  
  Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
  
  Not really, I've always succeeded in getting it to work, but I've always had problem card not recognized / loss of output .. I do not know if it's because of MAUDIO preconnise firewire card with TI chipset and I've always had VIA: possible ...
  
  
  
  The general configuration is easy?
  
  The Panel DSP is very well thought out: I love it! You have to be a little advanced for any exploited the opportunity. Windows 7 manages oddly this card. Windows media player does not even work on my side when I activate 10sorties in windows.
  
  
  
  The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
  
  Yes AC passes.
  
  
  
  In short it is not really a plug and play card on my side. But when she walks, she does the job.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using ..... 3-4years now I think.
  
  
  
  I had one before that the alesis (IO2).
  
  
  
  What I love most: sound quality / of the sound / of preamp / monitoring 0latence / standalone mode / all the functionality for the price. Excelent report functionality & rendering quality / price
  
  
  
  what I like least: the wayward drivers / not really plug and play (can be that it is the firewire who want ac) / outputs untimely loss of my PC (approx 1 time / date in windows)
  
  
  
  Is what I do it again this choice: hmm .... the trick is that for that price, there is that the config which also suits me perfectly. If I avai a 200euros to be more, I do not think I will ever be the same choice (I'll take a motu qqchose or equivalent). If not for my use: home studiste casual earphone music everyday, I will ever be the same choice. I managed to make me his faults, and to take advantage of these qualities. Do not make this choice with your eyes closed, test it on your PC before buying it. Otherwise make sure you have a firewire chipset TexasInstrument.

  b_d_r's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " excellent"

  Characteristics

  I bought it to replace my firewire solo.
  
  I use it for my voice and guitar effects from a steering macbook / LogicPro
  
  I lion bones X 4GB of ram
  
  
  
  Therefore concurrent use of micro and guitar without perceptible latency see ultra light, non-intrusive.
  
  I use 3 outputs 2 amps and a link to the PA for vocals. we can use 3 batteries effects spread over chacunes outputs.

  Utilization

  very good stability of drivers and easy handling

  Getting Started

  Easy install, no problems and a clear manual

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for over a year and repeated in concert. No worries, it works very well, very reliable.

  blackened121's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " M-Audio ProFire 610"

  Characteristics

  good, that is, the big bomb,
  
  already, a sm57 shure j'ultilise (12 "Celestion V30 all-tube amp in 15w or swr 18" bass) and audiotechnica AT2020 (bad condenser microphone!) for voice, a Roland TD10 electronic battery (with double metal pedal so therefore no latency or I'm going crazy)
  
  and therefore: ProFire nikel all this kind, no bp
  
  Micro is a m-audio preamp (audiobuddy)
  
  bass would need a DI box when I put it directly into the preamp,
  
  the preamp octaquelque thing that come with ProFire (entered from the front 1 and 2) are clean but could be a little more powerful (hence the audiobuddy before) but in cubase no latency when I listen to music is beautiful, clean spaced,
  
  the only pb is that I have with my PC stops detecting it after a few hours but I think it's my fault to be flémard to check if there are no new drivers recement out for windows 7 (64b) (a amd phenom 8650 triple core2g DDR2).
  
  Here, some questions do not hesitate!

  asmileofachild's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " BEAUTIFUL"

  Characteristics

  The Firewire connection has motivated my choice, and of course the quality of the products M-AUDIO. 2 input combo jack / XLR, 2 x Jack, a MIDI and S / PDIF = everything you need in Home Studio (2 headphone outputs!).
  
  Shure Beta 58 mic XLR, Jack Bass Live and POD X3 Live Line 6 S / PDIF connections are my base, everything goes perfectly.
  
  Taken voice, percussion, didgeridoo in, everything goes with its high quality.
  
  The outputs are mono, they may be down, the paired, a console software provided allows you to easily manage configs.

  Utilization

  Drivers stable, I use most often Ableton Live and all is well. Short latency. I can read as many tracks as I want, but the computer that blocks after a moment, not the card!
  
  The problem that I rarely, is to have the sound output of my software can not the sound card. I do not know if it has windows, bad Firewire controller, or driver. I just need to power cycle the sound card so that it works well again.

  Getting Started

  Everything is clear and simple.

  Overall Opinion

  I have been using qques years in home studio and in concert with all these movements is still in very good condition.
  
  I had a lot of material in the hands, and this card fits perfectly in a home studio, although with its six possible inputs simultaneously, there is room to store a small group and prepare a beautiful model!

  M AUDIO brand renowned quality and affordable design appointment is also very neat.

  Utilization

  stable drivers under win 7 card works perfectly well I use it with cubase 5 the latency is very low I record mostly guitar and bass voices with.

  PRZCHRIS's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Firewire: the best"

  Characteristics

  A product using the Firewire connection. I was looking for a product in a range greater than the M-Audio Firewire Solo, with more output and better overall quality. My choice is then focused on Profire.

  Utilization

  The drivers installed easily. I used this sound card for home recording (Ableton Live, Logic Studio, Garage Band).
  
  Live with ableton to send audio clips. etc. ..

  Getting Started

  No problem. the installation is done without difficulty. I've never needed to reinstall the drivers.

  Overall Opinion

  2 years I was using a firewire solo before moving up a notch.
  
  
  
  This is a good value for money.
  
  
  
  The sound card in a super design. Black with blue LEDs and red .. this slap in the home studio ..!
  
  
  
  Very good choice to acquire this sound card that tan home studio buffs.
