- This card works on both PC and Mac, with a Portable or a round => not restrictive
- 4 good prampli trs, trs transparant => trs well taken for acoustic (piano, guitar, vocals ...)
- Map trs complte: 10 votes ana, SPDIF or AES / EBU, ADAT 2 (optical or digital) with scroll trs => 28 in
- My config: Dell Inspiron 9300 1.73 ghz (60 GB HD 7200 trs, 1 GB RAM)
- I use it to catch tail piano, and it IDAL (practice with the zero-latency routing, which allows for a mix of DIFFERENT microphones in the headset to be the comfortable when taking!), stable trs, trs good sound!

UTILIZATION

No-problem installation
-No problem of incompatibility
It is very easy configuration, the TotalMix requires a good half hour to be included (not so easy at first that the CueMix motu, but once assimil is very practical and ergonomic trs !)
- I have not opened the manual (I have a motu 2408 mk3 (very good card for that matter) when I was working with a tower, and I'm used to computer music for several Anns ... I immerse myself in need again later trs SPECIFICATIONS)

GETTING STARTED

- Trs stable drivers (0 bugg for now)
- Apparently they are being updated regularly, we'll see ...
- I am 512 buffer with SX2 because right now I only do audio and I use TotalMix (where it is unnecessary latency)
- For the moment I record 3 channels at once exprience but I'm not worried about being able to record 16 simultaneous carefree

OVERALL OPINION

-For 10 days, but not enough to get an ide enough prcise product!
"I do not like the fact that there have not indpendant knob for volume monitoring (I have a UB802 branch between the card and the amp to have a volume knob indpendant)
- I had one:
1st: 2408 mk3 (very good map, stable on a Dell Dimension 8300 and also on a Mac, but one suspects!) But since I'm on a laptop, I'm the s deal because it only works with a PCI card (also motu dvelopper will have a PCMCIA card that would make the same office that 424PCi for use on portable PC and Mac (as the Multiface! !) ide Good is not it!

2nd: Firepod (good converters pramplis but some colors (my ear) and not unlike the routing Presonus foretold when it was released! Presonus we lied??
Moreover Denfert that Aralis a test of the FIREPOD on AF, should make his test day because it is giving false information to our music site MEMBREX prfr (AF) as saying again: "A virtual mixing table to route any input to any output, and should make its appearance. We look forward to see ..." Dear Denfert, October 05 we are, you had to contact connatre presonus and a little more about you before you write anything! We have viterait of Energy Expenses useless!

=> The FIREPOD is unusable as a pice mistress of a studio (and I my words PSE) is a card troubleshooting but not a pro card, however there that see mdiocrit of drivers (a ds that cracks often charge a little number of tracks and a few plugs yet my config is specially computer music), nothing to do with RME or MOTU, Moreover, with the RME, without changing my config, the same title (quite heavy) will crack any more!

I ended up with was useless to talk any longer of the Firepod, it would make a PUB and it does not MRIT!

- Report quality Price: under trs good opportunities and sound (I pay a little more 1200 euros)

- If it is not fragile and the only time I will say, I choose the same referrer

RME if you read me, would it be possible to assign the Volume button Stereo headphone output (for a volume of Hardware Monitor). If possible via an update firmware has INTERESTED all owners of Fireface800. Thank you
