Hey guys,
I've got a bit of a situation at the moment. I need an audio interface with at least 8 analogue line ins (bypassing the interface's preamp). I'd much prefer it to be FireWire instead of USB or PCI (I just want to plug in and go).
I've been looking at the Echo AudioFire 12, M-Audio ProFire 2626 and the Saffire Pro 40. I know the ProFire 2626 completely bypasses the preamp when you insert a TRS jack, and the Pro 40 cannot completely bypass the preamp (you have to find the whole unity gain thing, etc.).
I'm just looking for suggestions or encouragement to go with the ones i've been looking at $1000 I'd say would be my max to spend on something like this. I'd appreciate any help.
