Hate to so it but you should have did more research on the specs and reviewed website of the quality of the gear you were buying.


No one can tell you "what's good" because your needs are your own. If you know what features and specs you need (from doing research) you'll know what you should buy for yourself.

Figure that out and go get the interface your studio deserves.

To me, trial and error is cool until you have to spend money doing it.

..then it turns into a headache.

if u got a pc, im extremely impressed with the bang for buck of emu cards

1212, 1820, 1616... depending on how many channels you need and laptop vs desktop.

my 1820 totally does the trick and sounds fine, the 'm' model probably sounds even better

If you do have the extra money to spend, then look into the Fireface 400 or 800. They both have very good converters, functionality, stability, i/o options, routing, etc... I've used the Fireface 800 on a G4 Mac and an Amd PC with Cubase, Ableton, Acid, Sound Forge, Reason and it's worked flawlessly on both platforms. I am also using it with a DA7 taking advantage of the two Adat Ports on both machines. This gives me 26 analog inputs to record/monitor at once and without flaw if your computer can take it. It is also a nice change to not have to worry about noticable latency, crashing, or whatever problems that so many other audio interfaces have given me.
