Hi, I have been researching info about the Alesis and Phonic and a few other companies that make these firewire mixers. What is going on with this particular interface, in the sense that...is it really a viable way to record audio or are there so many problems that the companies have decided to place their emphasis elsewhere.
Right now, like a lot of small studio owners, I have an M-audio delta 2496 with a decent Behringer mixer using Reaper for main recording and Adobe Audition for finalizing. Now, I just bought a nice used computer, added lots of ram and a 500 gig second hard drive but want to upgrade my recording setup.
I was thinking about going firewire as my newish computer has firewire and usb inputs. I know I don't really need a lot of inputs but perhaps someday that might be an option esp. with live drummers....right now, I use EZdrummer for want of getting a real one to show up, ehhe.
So, simply, what are your recommendations for achieving cleaner, smoother, and reliable recordings with minor dents to the ole wallet? I really think there needs to be more handson reviews of some of these units and their actual usage in studios, major or minor. Thanks for listening, assist me if you can, psongman
