Hi Everyone,
Up until recently I had been using a presonus Firebox and sony MDR-7506 headphones with cubase 5, guitar rig 4 and my strat and ibanez jem.
Unfortunately my Presonus firebox went poof (haven't opened it although from what I read they are known to have capacitor/resistor issues, especially when you only use the firewire for power ).
Basically all I do with this setup is practice and sometimes record guitar with a backing track.
So I guess my question is, should I go for the same setup again maybe with a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface instead of the firebox, and grab some cheap studio speakers (getting tired of headphones).
Or will I notice a significant quality difference if I dish out a bit extra, I'm willing to spend if it means it will make that much of a difference.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/advice.
thanks!
Jo
