All user reviews of 5/5 for the M-Audio Firewire 18/14

The report qualitprix and the reputation of the brand have motivated my choice.
I SORS DUN PC WITH DELTA maudio 66. (CEST dailleurs THE ONLY THING THAT WALKED PROPERLY !!)
JOperation Firewire 18/14 pro use in the studio with a Mac Book Pro equipped with 4 GB of ram.
I little branch nearly everything you can plug in the studio without ever having encountered any problem.
I lai tried with XP and I can not tell you the circus !! With VISTA, be better to forget !!!!!!

USE

Mac, no problem. With Windows, all it is possible to imagine such problems, based on all configurations and find here.
I does not like Windows, but you wash soothsayer !!

IMPLEMENTATION

Drivers super stable, upgraded regularly.
Logic Pro, I have absolutely no problem meeting.
Jobtiens almost zero latency.
With a MacBook Pro equipped with 4 GB of Ram jarrive record more than 20 tracks without the slightest problem. With LIMAC impossible to know how many runs, so the bug is powerful.
Ncoutez not badgers who can not use their hardware!
The pros know what they are talking !!

NOTICE GLOBAL

JOperation Firewire 18/14 for two years.
I regret, perhaps, view a little plastic, but in general, the MAudio products are extremely robust.
I think the sound is extremely clearer as MOTU, for example, and qualitprix is ​​excellent. I know many musicians who use the Audio interface running on a Mac and Nont never encountered any problem.
I recommend this product widely and if CTAIT again, I renouvellerais lexprience, no doubt.
MAudio products are penss by musicians, what you want, they have ears like everyone else.
Buy this product if you are looking for something srieux not ncoutez the "badger" who are never happy. The pros use MAudio products and I can tell you that jen have encountered in my long career.

This interface serves me almost for everything model, repeated recordings, concert recordings, and even as a mixer for live and repet 'with software for small groups.

I plugged a complement ADA8000 via ADAT to have 8 inputs and outputs. It turns niquel!

UTILIZATION

I use it with a PC there is software that sound production, so yes, everything is very stable, no latency.
I usually record 16 tracks simultaneously. Everything runs smoothly.
As I said earlier, I do sometimes use only this interface and my converter, all connected to the PC for sound to small concerts.

I really like the M-Audio website, complete, on which you can regularly find updates, manuals of all their products, forums ...

GETTING STARTED

The installation is simple. The installation CD provided did not served, I downloaded the latest driver from the website (for Windows 7).

No incompatibilities encountered, quick and easy setup, but it must have a minimum of knowledge in the middle even though I think ...

About the manual, I can not tell you, I did not open.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months now. It is small, light, well finished, complete at ports (XLR, Jack, SPDIF, ADAT (in and out), and Firewire for me), and very effective.

I used a lot of Alesis, Presonus and M-Audio.

The price / quality ratio is excellent, do not hesitate to buy occas', they are ridiculously low price, and it is material that ages well.

I remake that choice without hesitation, at least for its ergonomics and price.

The M Audio FireWire 18/14 was an interface that I used on several occasions back around 2008. It was well built and it came with a pretty good software that I didn’t expect to have any use with but ended up mixing some really good stuff with it. (I cant remember exactly which software it was although). The Fire Wire 18/14 has all the connections you need to get your mics and instruments or almost any sound sources audio to your laptop or desktop computer. The Latency on this interface is very low, probably almost a 0 latency from the time that I had with it and it was amazing. You can also use your ASIO drivers with it to make the latency even lower. ASIO for all is a free tool you can use with almost any interface and with any system and software. Another key feature of the Fire Wire 18/14 is how great it is in a live setting. You wont need to use some of the interfaces that are already at venues if you are a live performer , you can just use your interface ( the 18/14) something you stand by and that you know works. The M Audio Fire Wire 18/14 Builds confident s because you know its going to work for your every time you use it.


UTILIZATION

It has 8x4 24 bit I/O and 18 in and 14 out fire-wire Audio and Midi connections. It is a very user friendly interface that has pretty much everything right on the face of the unit including Output, input and Axillary send monitoring right on the front of the Fire Wire 18/14. Latency is low in Cubase LE and the drivers are very stable as with most M Audio’s products are.


GETTING STARTED

I don’t remember a manual for this interface, and I don’t think I every saw one. But since it’s a M Audio interface there is no doubt in my mind that it was easy to understand and use.


OVERALL OPINION

The quality of the sound you will get with the Fire Wire 18/14 is very good, its second to none. I am very happy to have the honor to use this unit while our group had it. I though about purchasing one for my self but I already had two interfaces at the time. But I do love all M Audio’s interfaces. They are well built and worth the money.

8 analog inputs, 2 = 8 adat spdif ... the price the competition there's no Firewire.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month

the thing I like least is the story of A / B switch

Excellent price quality ratio, converters walk great, the preamps are amazing compared to the price of the card they Tiennet trs the road well with static qualitbr />
Yes I would do in this election than anything else does so attendnat

What technical specifications motivated your choice?
report quality / price is excellent, the menu is very comprehensive in connection

What use?
mobile recording and home studio

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
I work on P IV 3GHz, with 1GB of ram, DD 120o in windows XP pro

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem, but as with any gear type firewire connection, be sure to read the instructions before ... I've had no problems and I did the installation several times without problems. I never plant an XP session, the card works nickel!
The drivers are stable as so often in MAUDIO, soft card is Designed, small flat can not register ... can be config with the new drivers?
for me it is an excellent card!

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable, Updated 2 times since I have to say it for 1 year. I use the card with Live 4 and I get a LATECE 3ms

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and really is a good card, the price quality ratio is excellent. Of course there are better as MOTU or RME, but this is not the same price ... I think it's a good compromise to have a preamp intgrsa card, a lot of online connectivity and well stocked!
