Published on 09/25/11 at 22:33I bought this Interface to have a affordable solution to track audio to my computer at a reasonable quality. I paired this interface up with a Studio Projects C1 and used Adobe Audition to do my multi-tracking. For the price I would say this is a pretty nice unit. The preamps are useable but not exciting, and I was able to get some decent vocal cuts out of this unit. In this price range, I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a portable and easy way to get started in recording;however, if you want to get serious about your music, you will probably want to step up to something a little higher end.
After much research I decided to purchase the Omega instead of jumping up into the price range of the Firepod. For this price range, the sound is great and it can record 4 analog inputs at once when almost everything else around $300 can only do 2. Wish it had an on/off switch - you have to unplug it to turn it off. But I like controlling and monitoring the levels from the unit as opposed to an on-screen interface. If you don't need to record more than 4 tracks at a time, I would recommend this unit.
This program is for the beginner, don’t expect to be able to do anything near what you can do in pro tools or other recording systems. This will hold you back big time, but if you are just looking for something cheap to get started with it might work for you. But if you arent a beginner do not purchase this. You will feel like you cant do everything you need to do and you will come up short. The software that comes with it is not too good at all. I wouldn’t even attempt to try and mix in this program. You mix would sound terrible.
