    The setup is simple: it offers three CPU speeds (without telling you what is your machine CATEGORY) and the latency SETTING THE! not all pro trs has!
    I have not met the incompatibility

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers are unstable on my laptop (which pops rguliers ds charge a bit) => my config is specially computer music has not come from the laptop that works perfectly with RME and MOTU
    and more drivers have been t days once in 2 years (too bad, as well as routing Denfert no longer the write! Presonus we lied??)
    Recording 8 tracks with no problem passing conditions not too many IT CAN BE USED plugs at the same time!
    the colors are too pramplis taken for acoustic piano, sax, and vocals

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for 2 months, but I sold it (in a perfect state for that matter)
    I had a 2408mk3 (exceeds card but not work on laptop)
    I have a Fireface 800, and it works great as well on mobile (IDAL)

    UTILIZATION

    The installation was done without any problem! 3 times in 2 movements, install it (just follow the instructions, but everything remains easy to understand ... trs)

    Finds no incompatibility: the whole is stable rev ... I just have a problem (yet non rsolu) with
    recording VSTi instruments: Cubase LE (came with) plant! Pinnacle Ct assistance (and no, not a Steinberg that distributes this software ...), I trsdu! But hey, it's only the software supplied with the FIREPOD and running perfectly for recording multitrack audio and, in addition, FREE!!

    Gnrale configuration is very simple and effective for CASC!

    The manual is trs thin, but still more than enough!

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers are stable trs trs! I am delighted!

    I use it with Cubase LE (included) and tried it with Samplitude, Cubase SX2 ... Frankly, it can connect gnial 8 microphones to make a balance with the volume buttons for each input and situs in faade, and especially with clip indicators (= ment in F ade ...) and the virtual table mix Cubase! The monitoring is done in real time and without latency!

    Same for playing VSTi! I went down 2 ms and runs without problem! but frankly, to work comfortably, you can climb 18 ms, which is excellent!

    Dj I recorded a band with up to 6 simultaneous tracks: no problem!! I think 8-track, a would not be a problem! You should know that the firewire (2 ports ...) for connecting a second Firepod, which would make 16 tracks!
    About reading, I'm all up about 17 tracks, with several virtual effects and turn the fire god !!!!!!!!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about 3 months, but I can say that dj is a bomb!

    I will say that, apart from my problem VSTI to record in real time with Cubase (a not from the FIREPOD as a trs works well with Tracktion software!), I am delighted this stuff and did not find any default! The pramplis have a quality that I do not even have supper (you must hear the sounds of a guitar plugs directly into one of two instrument inputs: the sound is powerful and pr cis!) for the hardware of this award ...

    Before I pass by a maximum sound home studio pro 64 and then by an ISIS ... I recorded a band with this dernire .... .... .... .... NO COMPARISON!! What of food since I oxygne the Firepod!!

    And then regarding the price !!!!! 699 for such happiness ... Relva of a miracle! THANK PRESONUS allow those who have not too many ways to accder the quality without compromise!

    Needless to say, if c'tait again, I would ask myself the same question ... not DARK !!!!!

    - The manual is short and trs in English but this card is simple and does not ncessite hours of grip due to the obviousness of connections and rglages.

    GETTING STARTED

    - Perfect Stabilit of drivers (drivers rcents)

    - For use with Cubase LE and Cubase SX2

    - Latency is moderately good CEZ 4ms I see 5 in order to mix ... adequate but not exceptional

    - You can record 8 mics + a SP / DIF both

    - We can not return rgler indpendants each entry requires a mixer downstream of the card, but I do not drang.

    - Sometimes I get trs frquement clips and various cracks in cubase or even by listening to music with winamp! I trsdu ... I must just restarting and return sync etc ... I thought we had around 700 to more concern about this kind of sound card!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for one month and I am relatively satisfied, the Acquisition of 8 it's all good tracks simultaneously and a good rendering, pramplis do their job.
    As for mixing and use gnral it means I get enough latency levs (stuff for the studio) between 4 and 7 ms for a little room to mix with many tracks (between 20 and 45) and effects ...
    Sometimes I have the crackling of costs including software trs simple sum of Winamp!
    I Motu 828 mkII possde one is much better, no comparison, but much more expensive and with the NCESS of possder of pramplis ... or a mixer with ADAT.

    The lack of drivers a routing interface as with the competitors. Maybe will it be compatible with Pro Tools one day (LoL)

    I am a former owner of ISIS, this is my first sound card "semi pro".

    At 690 euros it's good stuff, the preamps are largely the case for the recording of a demo or BMD.

    I do it again this choice without hsitation! and I buy (when finances will be better) a second for 16 tracks simultaneously.

    Apart SPDIF in / out, there is no connection numrique ADAT or optical, I do not use a digital signal, a will may be a day not of internal software ( absolutely no rglage mmorisable is like an old mixer).
    Like its collgues, the Firepod offers a MIDI in and out for a dpanner (this may be enough for someone who only uses it soon!)

    Audio: the rear, monitor outputs, effects loop and stro all tracks of two pairs (1-2, 3-4 etc.)..
    On the front, 8 between handsets Jack / XLR and headphone jack for direct monitoring or the cost of the computer output.

    The aim silent to finally record more than two simultaneous input on my PowerBook (up to the PC Card PCI M-Audio Audiophile 2496, trs also well !!!). I play with a tromptiste which uses a Stereo effect, and we wanted to have a direct sound and the sound effect for selection in the mix - and I record my piano electronic mono. It's been 4 dj tracks, then: forget the good old Audiophile Stereo.

    I use the Firepod with the Powerbook:
    1 Ghz G4 processor, 768 Meg RAM., Logic Pro 6.4.3 (with its amazing bundle of native plugins, including imprial SpaceDesigner, rverb convolution), OSX 10.3.9 Panther.
    However, I have been testing is conclusive on any PC to beginners: Pentium IV 1.3 Ghz, 512 RAM, ASUS motherboard BW-4 (I think), graph. Hercules Prophet 4000 (very basic), and mentions the Audiophile.

    We plug it directly into the Firepod, which sends while FireWire 400 to the Powerbook.

    * WARNING *: the line outputs - the synths, for example - are often too low for the simple Firepod between lines (at least for my Roland FP-8, but I also have a synth rack whose signal is not strong enough ...).
    One thinks logically enable the micro prampli (enable / disabling indpendante on inputs 1-4 and 5-8).
    Problem: it does not jack the inputs must be entered into the XLR prampli into action. This is one of the only honest ngatifs on the device, and is a signal anywhere!
    Only possibility to buy as many jack-XLR cables we output lines to get into the Firepod. Which is expensive - unless you know the fiddle properly so-even, which is not my case.

    The Firepod offers pramplis instrument (for guitars, basses, etc..) On inputs 1 and 2, which is very practical for dpanner!

    I put an 8, to the extent that the prampli works only between XLR is really annoying, but remains as the only ngatif for my use of the device.

    UTILIZATION

    On the Powerbook, there is no installation! Logic identifies new entries ds launch.
    On the PC, install a driver, which comes with the device a breeze. 5 minutes maximum!

    At this point a small program that pilot the Firepod and retain levels between ETC. t would not dsagrable. But insofar as this is my first audio interface seriousness, is I do not miss, I just learned to do without.

    In my humble opinion, the manual - short and concise - more than enough given the simplicity of the device Inoue.

    GETTING STARTED

    The Firepod is Designed so simply that it can hardly be any problem of stability will be the fact forcment squence your or your operating system. The MAC is the user who is speaking. I have not used the Firepod enough for me taking its PC.
    I believe that there was no day set of drivers for over a year and a half, but it is probably to their original stability.
    A ride on the PreSonus website: I see there is all-in-even the new drivers for WinXP and OSX respectively Tiger (but that's more than a year that I did not t see. ..).

    Under Logic, with my SPECIFICATIONS, with buffers of 256 rgls there more worthy of being mentioned latency.
    The maximum registered simultanment tracks with my configuration, is 6. I really doubt the capacity of my Systm from an 8 day o I need it!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it in October 2004, it works twice a week rgime full report and nothing outside of what I mentioned.

    I love its simplicity of design and use and its really a transparent, made good stro trs. The construction is solid, the potentiomtres do not move, it's reassuring trs.

    His most is the least: the lack of internal software faster complications that may be linked, but makes it impossible to mmorisation rglages, which is sometimes unfortunate. Like the problem of the XLR impractical to take advantage of micro pramplis, see above ...

    The ratio quality price is trs, trs good. I heard a number of notification that the only quality of micro pramplis justify the price of the BTE.

    I did not at all occupied with FireWire for this purchase. There are lots of new critters or two entries - 8 mic but I do not know if there are many.
    I would do trs probably the same choice, the machine does its job and it is forgotten. It has no price.

    - The general configuration is easy? The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    hahaha, basic but adequate.

    the 10 is well deserved

    GETTING STARTED

    - The drivers are stable?
    - Are they often updated?
    -What software do you use most often?
    -What latency you get?
    (See happy people below)

    - How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
    8 tracks well with a 24/96 ibook. and reading, I have not been very unkind to the ibook. I would do an updated whenever the opportunity arises.

    rating: 08.01 with cubase 4 tracks simultaneous recording, it's really stupid c ** and because no interest. even creating a business strategy frustration for us to buy.

    edit 4 months later with respect to the free soft drinks, combined with the presonus mac is boring. neither audacity nor does HyperEngine AV. Fortunately qu'ardour going to address the lack of cubase 1.08 (4 tracks simult). I put 9 but I am not convinced

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been 3 months that I have and like a lot of firepodien, I want to have a second to have 16 tracks. I love everything about this sound card except that it was probably built by a Chinese living below the poverty line, I knew not buying it. short, I started with a pro isis then I had a yamaha mt120 4pistes cassette and the Edirol UA20. as well say it's another world. apart from the four tracks that had a great sound, the rest is well below.

    the value is excellent, given the construction site. to say nothing of price, quality presonus is there. furt I join in the lack of gain.
    I regret the adat, but good for about 700 euros ....., it was understood.

    I put ten. the last rehearsal I took my gym bag (it's a word I do not know), I put the FIREPOD, my microphone, a few jacks and XLR. In my backpack computer. with 3-foot poles on the spot, I made a small demo of hell unpretentious.
    I think a motu 828mkII example which has only two XLR inputs, I could could do this kind of intervention.

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    better than that, the moment I Pépette I remake this choice

    Uh ... plutt succinct to be polite!

    GETTING STARTED

    - How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...

    With Cubase LE comes with the Firepod, I record the 8 tracks with no problem. As against this, can not record on this flange version of Cubase, these eight tracks at the same time, no more!

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    I received dernire week, so I'm learning phase. I will give a notice may be clearer in a few months.

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    The quality of rglages, it's tough, all metal. Cubase LE via the config is super simple!

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

    I always have a multitrack Yamaha MD4S, which will continue to give good service I think when it comes to serve as auxiliary table mix, or when I need to connect microphones to record directly without a PC hand. Dj I worked a lot with an older version of Cubase, Audacity etc ...

    I have long hsit with the Alesis Multimix, but I finally opt for the rack have to be on that a product ddi recording SPECIFICATIONS . In addition to the appearance of the alesis plastoc me back. In addition Specifies the techniques are not at all the same level of quality.

    - How do you report qualitprix?

    Given that the entire rack + software adapted for recording eight tracks is discoverable under 450 euros, even in your little province of merchants is, I think a great value price quality . Provided you have a PC that holds up empty.

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    For now ... yes ... but let time take its course in order to give an opinion more relevant. In any case, we must train the software to exploit the Cubase Firepod correctly, everything happens in software Dornava ...

    PS: Note my Virtual trs rest I put nine ... trs subjective but ...

    Motivations: The 8 tracks with preamp, the Neutrik XLR / jack (and having been able to test it before;)

    Usage: registration model, including batteries made with enough tracks (although eight is still a fair bit;) but also to make guitars or singing.

    Config: P4 3GHz, 2GB RAM all in one barebone asus (ph1.)

    Instrument / Microphone:
    - Ct microphone commonly used was a Rode NT1, a Bayerdynamics TGX60 and SM58, we had the opportunity to make a sound recording with Neuman (M149 if I remember correctly, my wife the expert micro), the AKG (A model often used to make pianos) and an entire set (too much for the card) to make a micro-battery (for shure / akg pro gear ... as in anyway.)

    - I also test the decision-her with a POD (guitar and bass), a Digitech preamp lamp (from before the area of ​​the simulator;) and I always test the guitar ct 'instrument directly from an electro-acoustic and electric with a micro active (EMG81.) was also taken his tent from the dpart the effects loop of a Peavey Valve King head.
    - We also used a compressor / EQ Avalon lamp (not an Avalon DI, eh, a large compressor rack 4u) between a micro (the Neuman) and the map.
    - Ct cable are used Neutrik XLR and Jack. When taking singing the patch panel of the studio uses a slightly particulire connection (something franais, low trs trs trs used but good quality.) J ' I also tried the module with fatigue and poor quality ...
    - Recently it was also a USB control surface ...
    - In common usage we use the SPDIF output on a Pioneer amp with Celestion speakers, this is not the IDAL (typ plutt home-cinema) even if the sound is good, but the installation home because it's simpler. But we also used the card with a cost of trs high quality ...

    UTILIZATION

    Relatively easy ... Ct computer I'm doing well plutt priori (um ... I bathe in it for 20 years ... j'crivais my first piece of code in BASIC on my ZX81 when j'tais the Primary School) and ct is provided by the engineered My other half is in the past 7 years (the home of the Radio ...) So, we s 'draws plutt easily in this kind of activity ...

    The only somewhat unusual for the monitoring and some connections. But the situation really problmatique that we met we had tried (from a table, external effects only costs before the card, a patch panel, a network of order. ..)

    I just tested the card on a linux (ubuntu one, dernire release.) I do not have too much trouble, ss march in 5min APRS is that I said "and if I was testing in linux? " I have not pushed the tests, but it's nice;) The next step, a port of freebob tent on one of my FreeBSD;)

    Clartet the manual? Frankly, if one of my Students made me as a user manual, I will explode against the wall. On the other ct compared to what we see elsewhere, we are in the average high and fawn all it is not used much. The only information I had really needed, I have not found inside ...

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers seem stable and the latest update to address the needs or gaps = increasing.

    In gnral using Cubase SX3, but also used the card as main sound card under Windows, so with vlc (via adsltv) or winamp.

    Latency is correct it does not impede me (I have not the value at hand l.) In particular, I jou (in both senses) with plugins vst amp simulator and my guitar live without a problem.

    It was at least making all the tracks with analog, so no problem 8 (or latency supplmentaire or click ...)

    OVERALL OPINION

    We have this card for over a year and a half.

    Pros:
    - 8-channel pre-amp XLR / Jack;
    - The price (even more so today, even if it was pay more CHRE)
    - The quality of the connection (audio anyway)
    - The fiabilitbr /> - the full-size rack and firewire (no external card in ph1 which is a bit "small")

    Ngatifs points:
    - ASIO Direct Monitoring non-support (removes compltement latency recording.)
    - Outings and not XLR jack (balanced by jack but cons ...)
    - The XLR only between "mic" (ie pramplifi.)

    My wife has a relatively extensive exprience in this kind of hardware (such as digi-up with Pro Tools). Me personally I have heard that the old card my wife (semi-external 8 inputs including 2 pramp) of a few years ago (5 years?)

    I find the report quality price trs good. The card works without problem, the sound is to go to 8 tracks and ensure the works demand. I do not really compare other pramp card, but they are good and I think to really be better, you need to type in pramps spars and pro.

    We use the quiet summer home of the radio to catch the singing and piano in good condition trs. So, we could test the card in terms studio pro. The song is taken trs good and the card to ensure its job without worry. No crash on 6 days (3 weekends) with use of 8 in The Day 12:00.

    I would do this choice every time. Especially since I have not seen a map as "sduisante" in the competing offer, you can find cards with good points, but there is always a problem somewhere or missing CHARACTERISTICS .

    I would add that even when we had a failure (probably the firewire ct and d can be a problem on the PC, but not sr.) But the card has t replaced by a new one (new box complte) quickly and without problem.

    MANUAL IN ENGLISH
    edit:
    With or without SHIFT, OSX, perfect compatibility.
    I had a few crashes but nothing major.
    APRS a manual standby Mac and therefore "rveil" card, the sound may crack.
    Just restart the application (Logic) or dye / light the FP10.
    Rgl problem in 7 seconds. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" />

    GETTING STARTED

    I use it with Cubase LE (included) and I wonder if it is compatible with the SX2 (but I see no reason).
    It can record 8 tracks simultaneously (4 Cubase LE), but I have no arms 10, so, usually in two tracks (vocals, guitar) and it works well trs.

    Update: Use two dual-core Mac Pro 2.66, cubase studio 4, the implement is embtant and laborious, it takes more time, one must assign a while under the DTECT to all alone.
    After prolonged use, it cracks, makes noises, then we must raise. Nothing really but mchant heated faster and faster!

    Update: It cracks all the time, it puts the blast !!!!! I rle! 9> 7

    2009 edition:
    Since Cubase 4.5 Update hopefully better. No-detection problem even if the implementation is less comfortable than in Cubase Logic. Logic Pro 8 is the plug'n'play (attention because prrglage is 48KHz so it's about having to change the APRS plug'n'play frquence <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> )
    7> 8

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had two days.
    I tested a lot and I learn stuff.
    I do not do it again this purchase if I am or I'm stealing the case.
    L I, I keep it, I Chris!

    Update: Only one headphone ... Boring ... And you can not mix the outputs for example the drummer to hear more bass than the other etc ... Possible with the Fireface I think?

    398 Thomann ... It was well down. Do not hesitate.

    9> 8 The more time passes the more I feel limited ...

    Edit 2009:
    She has fallen in price. If you and your little fortune DSIR something of quality and that two "good" pramps enough for you, go for it.
    If you are a little more demanding and fortune, try the FireStudio Project, or tube.
    If I can not pay me the apogee of my dreams, nor even though the metric haloween, I buy a Presonus FireStudio as the brand is a guarantee of quality.
    The FP10 (FIREPOD) is strong (compared to knobs and switches to a mto 896HD worth three and a half times its price) and I also BLUETUBE a dp of the trademark HP60 and> excellent stuff!

    For the home studio fauchsdsireux to work semi-pro and have some good opportunities> 8 / 10
    For the most demanding n'hsitent not put the price> 7 / 10

    I am super happy with the sound card. I have 2 years, bought new (in Milonga), and since I install the new drivers the latency is almost zero and I can even mount a deuxime cascade, so j 'would have ending for 16 simultaneous input for a relatively reasonable price.
