I wanted some good preamps, the possibility of having a dozen entries, low latency, and a good conversion, on a budget: the Fireface was needed! This is a reference and an excellent choice.

It is connected to a computer controlled and core i7 with 4GB of RAM but only fit the bill!

I use it to save the black metal albums of my group, and sometimes other groups to repeat the headphone too.

I am not 10/10 because this material, although solid, has aged and USB connectivity seems more interesting today, and an interface and a more modern management. But cons, in terms of hardware, not a wrinkle!!

UTILIZATION

Drivers very stable, no problems or dropouts in Sonar.
I record and I read a dozen tracks simultaneously.

GETTING STARTED

No major problems of installation, except for the firewire chipset to be branded as Texas Instruments for the Fireface works, I had to buy a FireWire expansion card for my computer.

Once installed, the Fireface works quite intuitively, not even really need the manual, everything is clear, but it takes some getting used to the interface of the Fireface mixer anyway.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years, bought used at the time, never any problem or incident.

I have not tried many other models before myself, but I had the opportunity to see alternatives rotate, and listen to the sound, including mixing consoles with converters who don ' did not look as robust as the Fireface.

It has a capacity of routing incoming signals to different outputs, which is extremely handy! But it is firewire ...

The value for money is unbeatable and in my choice I would do it again!
