Not easy to choose an audio interface with the growing number of products in this category and price more attractive, is not it!
Any young "Maoist" currently in training SAE, I equip myself gradually for 6 months
(computer music ddi computer, controller noon, microphone, monitor ...) and large t have my hsitations, particularly in regard to the audio interface of a link Central home studio.
APRS much searching I finally DCID for the little Presonus Firebox from home, I reu dernire week. Why this choice?
First, because I was looking for an external interface (that is when even better) and because the DBiT Firewire of USB is too weak or problem of latency, Click ... .
In addition to the brand: Presonus is recognized in the middle of his, including the quality of its product manufacturing and its pramps (one of the important lment interface).
Then the ergonomics of the Firebox suited my needs: Not too many (I do my catch of his one by one), and TRS outputs, two Neutrik pramps by Presonus and prsence an input / output SPDIF, a Phantom power supply and a midi interface.
Finally, the well-sr price: 415 euros: Pile hair in my budget!
UTILIZATION
Without major Soucila: Besides two error messages during installation of drivers such as how the Firebox is not certified for Windows XP, it's easy (But this is indicated in the instructions).
The instruction is in English but in French tlchargeable on the site of the distributor (www.jukeboxltd.com) is when even better. It is succinct but trs damn good, some explanations on the functioning of supplmentaires mlangeur t would not have too many.
Basically, you install the drivers, you plug the firewire, you restart, you RULES your latency in the hardware interface, in your software squence You select the drivers for the Firebox, you plug your monitors and go.
GETTING STARTED
It's only been a week that I have no problem but I was up here. Trs stable with Cubase Not a pet blast out on the Main, 4ms latency no problem (I did not try less). As for the pramps, I think trs well: no excessive breath when they are pushed, and it goes up any fawn suffisammment levels is needed without being too push. The sound is pure reading as well that the record (with an Ovation Pro and B2).
A priori an updated driver is available dj.
OVERALL OPINION
Frankly I do not have much wrong, that's exactly what I needed for beginners.
For small it's taken more than enough, the sound is clear, no breath, no rumble or parasites, the quality of manufacture is indniable (Alu, notched knobs mtal ...) the mixer is more convenient and it is mimi! The report qualitprix seems excellent.
Only regret, j'hsitait with M Audio (FW 410) Indeed, given that Digidesign was buying the brand, I thought to make available one of his days a "Protools LE" compatible M-Audio and obviously I learned the day I received the Firebox silent about it out!
I do not regret it as absolumment not my choice, given the user reviews, the 410 does not seem to be gniale, I dropped the matter with Protools and all fawn it must be DCID one day!
Homestudistes friends I greet you in the hope that this advice is useful to some of you.
