I'm thinking of upgrading my hardware. I'm currently using an Aardvark LX6, but I would like something with more I/O, and maybe onboard preamps. I'm considering the Presonus Firepod, Emu 1820M, RME Fireface 800, or Motu Traveler, or Motu 896 Hd. Will the Motu gear work on a PC? What is the benefit of using a PCI soundcard as opposed to a firewire device, if any? I currently plug my inputs into the preamps on a Mackie 1402, and then run a stereo out into the LX6. Are the preamps on these Audio cards considerably better than the Mackie preamps? If not, should I buy a device with more I/O and no preamps, and then get some dedicated preamps? Price range is around $1000.
My current system:
Athlon 64 FX51
1 gig ram
Western Digital 80 gig system drive
Western Digital 120 gig Sata audio drive
Aardvark LX6
Mackie 1202
KRK V4 Monitors
Cubase SX 2.2.0.33
