Hi everyone! I read the posts on here all the time but I need some real world advice so I finally registered for an account. Right now the front of my signal chain is a BLUE Blueberry micraphone powered by a UAD 6176, I love this set up, I will add a U87 when budget permits. Right now my concern is my interface, your gonna laugh but I'm running this into a M-Audio 2496, I know piece of crap right. I know enough about interfaces and I think my UAD and BLUE deserve high end converters, seems like everyone here is big fans of apogee, I personally won't mess with any of the apogee mini series, just not functional enough but that really is my price range. I've been looking into the RME stuff, I'd love to just go with the Fireface 800, but I don't really have that much money.
My budget 900.00 or less.
I know RME makes the fireface 400 but it doesn't have the same converters as the 800, it has the converters from the multiface and not the ADI series like the 800. I'm not a big MOTU fan. I am curious about the MACKIE onyx series. I refuse to conform and get digidesign anything, all there LE stuff uses the same AKM converters that MOTU and MACKIE use any way. I do need something firewire as I travel a lot, I'm not looking for bang for the buck I'm looking for something that will give me pro quality audio, I'd sacrafice, the extra pres and stuff but it has to be firewire.
Thanks for the help guys.
