    And much l c not super complex was 2 ptits pramps not too bad, but when even too just has dangle a background buzz kan you comprssez taken microphones mix, and has of me, (use a lil Pramp lamp type and tt prsonus change)
    good to see what you make, discs for Polydor, or the pater zik ​​for his girl ??? eh?
    good ds this case the pass bestiolle good, spdif is very convenient to connect the digital (digital pedal kind of scratching)
    nonexistent latency the human ear, firewire WELL ENOUGH FAST to your bcanes, I remember the way that manufacturers st not tars, y not sell stuff that can not get the sound as it takes !!
    latency comes from pross of ordis, treatments that inflict calculate the size of the buffers memoirs (pitite: no latency, big bicoup latency, buenos to make mixes with space designer, or other) dc forcment we are left with latency choua has remains correct

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    And c bah yeah good to prod home the rpette almost everywhere! if you want to avoid the Digidesign (in THE course, TDM remains for stud who no choice) and well smble me be another choice, you are sure to not be ds shit with FireWire 410, it simply makes things simple simplicity we simply asked him to do.

    uh ... if g was qq (indeed regularly) of "swings" of the card, such cutoff signal out reading, I wonder if the core audio is completely reliable ...? or is it the drivers that st ill gr? apparently this problem is quite excptionnel, I do not know that much thought nothing.

    M-Audio Firewire 410Published on 07/25/12 at 01:57
    With 4 inputs and 10 outputs all into a good sized interface this could be the best interface to have for your home setup. Even if you don’t need the 4 inputs or all of the outputs right now, it will still leave some room to grow once you need more inputs or outputs they will already be there and you wont have to go out and purchase another interface. You can also choose to switch the phantom power off or on depending on whether you want the low noise or not.

    UTILIZATION

    I didn’t like the manual with this interface to much, It seemed to be a really lengthy manual and it didn’t need to be. The unit was very easy to use and to understand I don’t get why the manual would be so complex. You wont even need to touch the manual at all if you have general knowledge of interfaces and even if you are a beginner you wont need to use the manual . Just load the drivers and you are good to go.


    GETTING STARTED

    The back of the unit does have some inputs on it though, I think it has two inputs and 8 outputs and they are all quarter inch jacks. So this unit is useful on the front of the panel and on the rear panel. So where ever you have this unit at you will need to be able to access the front and the back, which makes me thing they should have just made it a rack able unit and put everything on the front. But I think they where aiming at trying to make it a portable fire wire unit that had plenty of outs and ins.


    OVERALL OPINION

    It is portable and still has enough inputs and out puts to run a major session. Using this interface couldn’t be much easier. You wont need a manual , its plug and play. Run it in any major daw that you use on your pc. I am not sure about mac though, I haven’t used it with a mac.

    I purchased the gear in a shop after looking on the internet for affordable professional recording gear. I bought it because I knew it was exactly what I needed.
    I paid £363(528 euro) for the unit.

    I am accustomed to the consumer line Soundbalster SB Live for recording and playback. The first, very notable difference was the fact that with speakers or headphones plugged in and with the volume up full (with no noise playing) there was complete silence. There is no background noise or static whatsoever. It makes for crisp, clean recording (from DI source or mic) and incredibley clear playback.

    I am accustomed to the consumer line Soundbalster SB Live for recording and playback. The first, very notable difference was the fact that with speakers or headphones plugged in and with the volume up full (with no noise playing) there was complete silence. There is no background noise or static whatsoever. It makes for crisp, clean recording (from DI source or mic) and incredibley clear playback.

    So far, there is nothing unsatisfactory abou the unti whatsoever. It is perfect for recording (up to four inputs at once) and for playback (up to 10 discreet outputs or 7.1 suround sound).

    The FW410 is solid in its metal casing. It is heavy duty, but not too heavy for portability. All knobs have a "nice action" (as Alan Partridge would say) and it is very simple and straightforward to use and install.

    For anyone who is considering buying a low-price, professional soundcard for home recording or for live electronic performance this is the one for you. The unit has 4 inputs for recording (2 XLR / 1/4" hybrid inputs [with optional pads and phantom power] and 2 1/4" line inputs) it also has 10 discreet line outputs (8 1/4" and 2 SPDIF). It also has 2 headphone sockets, each with its own voume control. It works through FireWire and I am currently using it on a laptop and am achieving crystal clear recording and playback audio.

    Ditto on the tower. Install nikel. cohabitation without problem with my other sound card, a DELTA 1010 (M-audio)

    GETTING STARTED

    Intrt you have a firewire port well isolated from other components of the pc. For my part, it sagit an Acer TravelMate 654lc. the firewire port is excrable ... of crik crik crik crik, Bizzz Bizzz Bizzz Bizzz, boooooooooo - speaker output, a horror! of course, all zero-knob! erf, and when I ride the knobs, it's worse. Well, for the music I play is the tekno is not too Gnant. RESOLUTION thing when I turned the pc on battery (without sector), and diminished by turning the laptop on inverter. on the other hand on my other pc (fixed), no problem of interference,. What comes as a good laptop. Question paramtrage is not rocket science. in effect, I have not opened the manual so the control software is clear and easy to use. I put 8 / 10 because I am sure M-Audio'll have to put a stress on the electrical insulation of the card.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had a choice between a Dirol ua1000 and that the end, c m-audio I prfre. will see the notice that I left on ua1000 to find out why. I've been running the laptop on scne for 2 hours using live and 10 analog outputs of the card, no problem. Dailleurs, I had currently no problem reading his drivers. I also possde DELTA 1010 on the fixed and the same, the drivers are nickel plated. not a crash. I can make music with less hassle than before ...

    For technical specifications see the data sheet.

    At the same Casing him it feels solid and heavy, except the knobs that are a little toy, and jacks the rear it is better handled with prcaution .

    I plugged into my external FireWire drive (on which stocks my Cubase projects) and works perfectly without power (it feeds the power supply with hard drive).

    UTILIZATION

    Installation without problem provided that you follow the manual (so the card's trying to light the very dernire tape). We read the instructions!
    (And speaking of manual I mean the small sheet to install the full manual is on a CD!)

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers do me for the moment any possible problem. I have upgrad by downloading the latest on the site of M-Audio.
    I use it with Cubase SX note, trs low latency (between 3ms and 6ms) as long as I remain reasonable on the slopes (5 audio tracks + 2 VSTi) and effects (1 comp per reverbs + qq)

    I use it also with GTPlayer (hte VST to make your PC a multi-effect) and nickel works with low latency trs.

    Software supplied with the mixer is not empty forcment understand at first, but after learning that it is a joy we can route anything and everything, it's really good con u!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have not dcu t is my sound card Premire "pro" so to speak (I had an ISIS in the past) and what's with Difference the chip rotten Intgr my laptop! I redcouvre my records and my own compositions Plus a bit of breath, even if all volumes are pushed back!

    Here in conclusion, one complaint: when it is dyed blue LED flashes and sleep m'empche

    It really is a terrible card and 460 euros, I think it is not better!

    The microphone inputs with microphones tested type and quality are diffrent prcises trs, converters and pramp are good trs. Same as line inputs. for multi-point distribution (10points) is the same.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Good tool for musicians branchs electro electroacoustic or who do not like me how to surf on the G5 and a diGi01.
    Default note:
    the rear face of the Jacks (line inputs and outputs) lack of space and support seems a bit lightweight (handle with prcaution). but is not well bte big you can not have it all, no doubt!

    Yes, we will use sequences Vons on stage and we need a solution to Backup Sampler could crash / fall / grill ... etc ... Suddenly, out of the question to have a sound card with two outputs ... We need to mix the different sequences in live ... So console output and management tracks separately ...

    In addition, via a master keyboard, we want to use synths and midi interface card is required.

    Home PC config: asus motherboard - 512 RAM - CubaseSX and PLETOR of plug-ins.
    Portable config: IBM A31P - 512 RAM
    all under Windows XP - Pro

    In short, exactly what I was looking for.

    UTILIZATION

    The installation is really plug & play, no problems.

    For configuration, I just tripped over the carpet for the ASIO config settings. suddenly, I had a monstrous latency MIDI and AUDIO only due to my incompetence ...
    Once properly adjusted, it was the cake.

    The installation manual is succinct but sufficient.
    The general use rather intuitive and does not require a doc outrageous.

    GETTING STARTED

    Stable drivers ... never had a crash during use.
    I mainly use: Cubase SX, Groove Agent and AmpliTube (I enter my guitar "raw" in the card and I use this when I play live directly in the map).

    I have a slight lag ... barely noticeable ... I have not measured but it is not annoying at all ... and yet I'm a psychopath of "there must be inside" ...

    otherwise, I get to be saved simultaneously: Bass / guitar ... both with "Amplitube" indeed virtual insert ... while turning Groove Agent .... and it goes great.

    For the number of simultaneous tracks, I got to 24 without problems, on a piece of 6 minutes.
    I once reaches a limit ... insert the number of "Amplitube" (5 guitars and a bass) so, five instances of this plug in ... while playing simultaneously with another procedure "Amplitube" and there I had a complete freeze of the PC ... reboot required .. but I think it comes from the PC that was to be flush with the mouth ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    So I use this card for 6 months and I only had two major problems:
    the first: I put my laptop in standby mode then advanced that the card was plugged. He never wanted to reboot ... Beautiful blue screen ... SD reformat and re installation complete. Now I no longer puts my laptop to sleep before he shuts down the card itself.

    The second: in the afternoon from a charge with my bass player when we played bass / guitar / voice (audio) Groove Agent and the card went out no sound ... however, the LEDs of us showed that the card took well but impossible to leave the slightest signal. I figured an overheated component (ouhais, it's hot in my attic when the sun is) ... The next day I re turned on the PC and everything worked fine ...
    at the time as I rebooted the PC several times, I figured it could not come from the drivers ... but hey, I'm not an expert in technology either.
    Update: I found where was my prb the cubase project was 48k 24b and 16b map 44.1 K. ..

    What I like most: the outputs. phantom power for microphones ... uh, actually, I like everything ... : P noon, knobs, etc. ...
    What I like least: it does not look super strong on the case ... be handled with care.

    For me, the best value for money on my needs ...

    AND ... I would do the same choice ... saus if I got a contract to prod and I have more gold coins;)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 months and I really have no problem with the Firewire ... c really good compromise for the musician who does not want to take the lead in 10 000 drivers install, doing manipulations, etc ... and that can be dplacer with!.
    The design is simple (except plastic buttons that make a little money ... but most gaget RSID in the belly of the beast). I tried the Lexicon but it is not great. The sound of the Firewire 410 is TERRIBLE.

    Why Firewire 410?

    The robustness, reliability and ease of use I have to take the digital audio card.

    What use?

    The robustness, reliability and ease of use I have to take the digital audio card.

    What use?

    UTILIZATION

    Installing the M-Audio Firewire 410 and Incompatibilities

    - Super Easy, even for someone who know nothing. Just install the drivers then plug the Firewire 410 to Firewire or Firewire controller. Hick still a small, completely install the drivers provided with the audio card, not those available at www.m-audio.com if one is not for Windows XP SP2. The last driver to provide www.m-audio.com was released on 15/01/05 and will not install correctly if it is SP2. Otherwise the driver installed but not correctly, there's an error when updating the Windows registry and creates the final ca latency and micro cuts when playing a single mp3 with WMP (Windows Media Player).

    Otherwise at the compatibility of the Firewire 410 with the various Software computer music, overall it's not bad at all:

    SX-1/2/3 => Not a concern is impeccable 0 latency WDM driver manages ASIO2 +
    Sonar-4 => Be impeccable too, latency 0 ASIO2 but not yet available for this release.
    Fl Studio-4 => it's a super soft, but when she galley to set. In the end it works well, except for management and hazard of the asio latency hard to stall. Soon to be version 5, and easier to configure.
    -Adobe Audition 1.5 => Be nothing to say it works well too, latency 0.
    Sound Forge 8.0 => Nikel too, but hey it is not surprising.
    -Logic Audio Platinum => No worries nan more, but not easy to configure.
    VST-VSTI and => So all depends on the VST or VSTI but overall it's like magic it works well, but need not ask the CPU to the FireWire 410 saturates even faster when. Just put Guitar Rig 6 eg 6 audio and 3 VSTI (Groove Agent, East orchestra + Korg Legacy) and the drama is ... But hey It also depends on the software used. We are still solutions loing Pro Tools.

    General configuration:

    The-m-audio module that manages I / O (input / output) and very easy to use, any use is an option that allows the Firewire 410 to automatically set according to the software (sampling rate + sample rate).

    Manual:

    -3 Pages to read ... Easy Nan is no problem. But hey you would have liked more pages ....

    GETTING STARTED

    Drivers:

    I repeat: A small Hick still absolutely install the drivers provided with the audio card, not those available at www.m-audio.com if one is not for Windows XP SP2. The last driver to provide www.m-audio.com was released on 15/01/05 and will not install correctly if it is SP2. Otherwise the driver installed but not correctly, there's an error when updating the Windows registry and creates the final ca latency and micro cuts when playing a single mp3 with WMP (Windows Media Player). Otherwise it works niquel.

    For Mac OS, be it's perfect, there's nothing to say, as usual.

    Update drivers:

    In fact not often appears, as the driver and a global driver for all models of M-Audio. Apparently it's not so often as day began to Windows users.
    If not for Mac OS drivers are often updated.

    Software used:

    I ramble .....

    SX-1/2/3 => Not a concern is impeccable 0 latency WDM driver manages ASIO2 +
    Sonar-4 => Be impeccable too, latency 0 ASIO2 but not yet available for this release.
    Fl Studio-4 => it's a super soft, but when she galley to set. In the end it works well, except for management and hazard of the asio latency hard to stall. Soon to be version 5, and easier to configure.
    -Adobe Audition 1.5 => Be nothing to say it works well too, latency 0.
    Sound Forge 8.0 => Nikel too, but hey it is not surprising.
    -Logic Audio Platinum => No worries nan more, but not easy to configure.
    VST-VSTI and => So all depends on the VST or VSTI but overall it's like magic it works well, but need not ask the CPU to the FireWire 410 saturates even faster when. Just put Guitar Rig 6 eg 6 audio and 3 VSTI (Groove Agent, East orchestra + Korg Legacy) and the drama is ... But hey It also depends on the software used. We are still solutions loing Pro Tools.

    Latency:

    On average, latency 0 bé veiled all ...

    The abuse by the saturation of the CPU: (Reminder: PC Config mentioned above)

    Test carried out in Sonar 4: 15 audio tracks (with a compression Timeworks EQ per track +) + just for guitar and bass (the guitar rig which is mega mega greedy in CPU) + 6 VSTI (Groove Agent + + Korg Legacy East Orchestra Latin + Afro + Percussion + P2P adventure B4). LA is dead, impossbile mix, or record an additional audio track ...
    Test conducted in Cubase SX 1/2/3: no better now than Sonar 4.

    Overall, the M-audio firewire 410 is robust, it can go anyway, but not believe that we will be able to play Studio Professional recording a symphony orchestra ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long is my thing

    - 2 months and not disappointed one minute. If anything to be honest, I expected more monstrous, finally manage to fill more than 10 really VSTI simutanément, bé nan is not ofSuite ...

    Loved ones in this box, metal:

    - The design: p, its performance, simplicity ...

    Prior to the Firewire 410:

    - Sound Blaster Live 128 => nothing to do but hey I know, M-Audio wins the match
    - Guillemot Maxi Studio Isis => incomparable, M-Audio Wins Again

    Value / Price:

    - Really good, not harm it can have Occasion to € 350 for those who want to overspend.

    Same choice or not?

    - Uh oauip not worry, considering the price no problem, but eventually I will change, that's about to direct me to a solution similar to Pro Tools (CPU dedicated to each task), haaaaaa 1000000 VSTI in simultaneous lol.

    If the front inspires confidence and solid it will plug and unplug its jacks above the rear with more care.

    UTILIZATION

    The installation is absolutely childish, I had no problem. In less than 15 minutes, I uninstalled the driver of the Solo and install one of the 410. Pdf manual is clear and comprehensive trs.

    GETTING STARTED

    I had no concern for stability with the Solo. Not fault either with the 410. I use Reason and Cubase, no worries. But I do not push the gear end ...
    I get an imperceptible latency of 8ms.
    Excellent in both input and output.
    Internal routing simple and readable.
    Trs gnrale good ergonomics.

    Two small regret, however:
    - The knob "Level controller" assignment is a good idea. But it is from that place too prs gain 2, and flush with the table, making it difficult to access. But given the size of Casing may be they did not have much choice and feel good is when even trs.
    - The blue LED flashes losque power the card is color but power. It is not used much and it agaant ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a week apart (all) small default ergonomics trs I am satisfied. This card confirms all the good that I thought of M-Audio.
    J'espre simply held that the rear connectors on the hard. However much trs be careful with RPET and concerts, work sheets.
    For 379, the quality-price ratio trs satisfactory. In addition it is a beautiful object, which does not gche!

    I use it with an electric guitar directly plugged into an input device. I am not a professional musician, I play a lot, for fun.

    I was looking for an interface that allows me to register both in good condition and replace my amp with me offering me the opportunity to connect Rapidos and easily provide full sound.

    The 410 is connected to a tower PIV 2.4 Ghz (XP SP2), a G0 RAM, I have not dedicated to music but this remains the priority application (the PC is "slightly" configured).

    The 410 is connected to a tower PIV 2.4 Ghz (XP SP2), a G0 RAM, I have not dedicated to music but this remains the priority application (the PC is "slightly" configured).

    UTILIZATION

    Easy installation, no problem. Driver taken to the site M-Audio.

    I had before my old soundblaster live off via the control panel, without turning on the motherboard.

    The 410 is configured via a control panel rather complete but requires a small learning curve, which seems perfectly normal.

    Manuel very succinct but do we really need? The 410 is intuitive, it is doing fine without.

    GETTING STARTED

    As mentioned earlier, driver recovered at the site of M Audio. It dates from October 2005, not updated since but no crash, no conflict found so far.

    When recording, I use Ableton Live and Pro-Tools. I also use plugins for my stand alone plug and play quickly.

    I have not calculated the latency. In fact I forgot what it meant. It is perfectly inaudible.

    At the moment I turned the three tracks at a time, no problem.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month and a half.

    The 410 revolutionized the way I play music.
    Before, I was going through a big amp, compact, correct, but its very limited level. There, I plug in my guitar, I choose my sounds, I invented, I play, I create a rhythm track, I improvise on it, I record or not ... is happiness!
    Rapidos I play through Guitar Rig, which has a handy feature stand alone, with an integrated magneto to be able to easily and improvisation of beef with yourself

    The sound quality is excellent but obviously depends on many plugin employees. With Guitar Rig, clean sounds / crunches are monstrous. AmpliTube preference for Satus, while high quality even if it still faces the problem inherent in the blast plugin (which can be reduced by moving).

    The raw sound of the 410 complies with the tone of my guitar. Anyway, I never hear it because I always pass by a plugin ...

    I have not tried one before. I toured the forums and seek advice from a musician friend, it pro.

    I just said, the 410 has completely changed my way of thinking about music in offering me the opportunity to play and create quick, easy and excellent acoustic conditions.

    I could not do without and still wonder how I was to live without!
