In addition, it connects you your computer via firewire, making it faster than any USB audio interface and much more reliable. I connect it strait to my Mac and use it with Apple's Logic to record drums, guitar, keyboard, and vocals.

UTILIZATION

The driver that come with the PreSonus FireStudio Project are indeed very stable and include a software mixer that is very useful. With the Firestudio, you can record up to eight tracks at once, more than any other audio interface out there.

GETTING STARTED

The only issue you could possible have with this interface is if you don't have a firewire input. Other than that, this is an easy to use, affordable unit.

OVERALL OPINION
