The solution is attractive by providing eight simultaneous inputs with high quality preamp and 48V for mics. I turned to this type of solution in order to be able to record a live band with minimal equipment. in addition to the routing can be inserted into the Firestudio chain and thus its registration under any conditions.
I also added a Digimax FS for a total of 16 audio inputs.
So I can save the entire group during rehearsals and making models.
I use a Dell Inspiron 9300, 2.3GHz, 1GB Ram, 60 GB 7200 RPM / m.
I am equipped with microphones for sound with a drum kit with Prodipe DM8 (well except the microphone kit bass drum-sounding board) for sennheiser bass and guitars for a total of 12 tracks used.
I use Cubase SX3 for recording.
I hesitated with the new M-Audio ProFire 2626 has some more as the opportunity to work with higher sampling frequencies but in my case are not necessary: 96K is already very good. I chose the Firestudio telling me that the model was older and that drivers should be more mature and stable than the proFire2626 ...
UTILIZATION
The installation went well, the utility is made to control the internal routing between the inputs and outputs. on the other hand I encountered big problems of stability, crash cubase, recording that stops me what a little tense for a few repetitions. So I searched the forums a way to optimize the system, to see what activities are incompatible with my Firewire card which is a OHCI compliant. I subscribed to the program presonus beta drivers for testing was for me the only way I had before my despair.
I now have a stable system with the latest beta drivers and have disabled the network card in windows and Firewire networks that use the same IRQ.
I do not understand why Presonus does not come out the beta version because the current official really worries. So the beta program subscription is a must.
Level documentation, the version is a little more light and should give an example. New features included in the betas are currently not documented which is a bit frustrating.
GETTING STARTED
So plan to enroll in the beta test program as a presonus has not released a new official version. now I have the beta version 3.2.0.108.
I record 12 tracks simultaneously without dropping it works well with a buffer of 512. No problem to run the Digimax in Adat with the FireStudio.
OVERALL OPINION
After galar for a stable and efficient to use it becomes quick and easy to store. The quality is there with good microphones can be a model of very good quality. preamps are effective should not hesitate to increase the level of preamps.
