Congrats vbibber! :D I just did the same thing! Bought it last night, also got a nice lrg diaphragm Mic, Presonus FaderPort, boom mic stand, headphones, cable. And a laptop too! That stuff can get expensive quickly, been saving for a long time, and no more spending for an eon. I'm about ready to...

Presonus puts out a warning because of incompatibility with the following. We have seen many issues unique to systems running Windows XP Media Edition, and strongly recommend using Windows XP Home or Professional instead. Hardware Incompatibility Laptop's with ATI Radeon 9000/9001 IGP video...

Thanks much for the info! I'm currently more about Presonus Firebox/Firepod, but then I'll be looking for a hardware mixer interface...

I was hoping for something that I can evalutate. I am seriously considering buying an Emu unit, either the 1616M or the 1820M. More likely the 1616M which is supposed to be quite similar to the 1212M... What part of the software implementation do you not like? Do you not like the supplied...

I'm glad to hear it's working out for you. I'm quite interested in this interface. What sort of PC are you using? Type of mic's? Get good levels? Do you use a power cord or the firewire supplied power? I'm thinking about getting a half decent laptop, but I'm wondering about the sound quality...

Thats what I like to hear. :cool:

Vbibber is seeking recommendations for that laptop, and laptops typically have somewhat slower I/O subsystem than desktops, so it may prove somewhat more helpful if you would specify if your firebox is connected to a desktop or a laptop. :) I Know I'd like to hear more from laptop users about...

What's not to like about your emu? Do you just not want it cause you have better, or is there a reason you are so unattached to it?

I'm presently considering the 1616m, so I'm wondering what makes you not favorable to it? I thought this line of interfaces has outstanding A/D D/A converters, and just so you know, for a paultry 25 bucks or so, you can buy an adapter to allow you to plug that PCMCIA into a PCI slot. Tip Also...

Cool deal! Perhaps the type of condensor mic makes a difference too. Mic'in especially loud stuff like drums and gutiars should work fine on the Presonus preamps. I heard one guy mention that one of the mic jacks had a sort of noise to it, but the other mic jack with preamp sounded just fine. He...

How loud and what mics are you using? The only thing I've heard in the negative about the Presonus mic preamp, is that they don't do well for dynamic mics like a shure sm57 which need alot of gain, the levels are low, but if your jamming loud, that "might" not be a bad thing. Conversely I hear...

continued... Consider the EMU1616M PCMCIA w/breakout interface box, H/W DSP, professional grade ultra clean (120db snr!) 24bit/192 D/A A/D converters and 16x16 ins and outs, for $499! :D http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--EMU1616M...

(Note: I'd also like to hear from you Emu users, especially if you've used the 1616m interface to hear how that interface works for you.) I've been saving up some coin, so now it's time to think about how to go about getting a great portable recording interface and DAW. I'm thinking around...

pipelineaudio I'm a bit time and financially challenged, but if I can help out in some way, I'll see what I can do. I like the creative process, but I don't go much for steep learning curves. I have the feeling that I may be moving in the not so distant future, which will sorta be like moving...

dannyguitar Much appreciated. I didn't realize how much recording can do to help a person toward improving one's guitar playing. When your just practicing on your own, you normally accept your own limiations and just forge thru regardless of mistakes or less than accurate playing. You just...

As to your plugin,,, http://www.zingerbug.com/Comments/E-Lingo/ROTFLMAO_blue_1.gif I was hoping people had a sense of humor here. ;) Thanks much for the info!!! I'll have to check it out. I'm quite new to such programs so it would be great to be able to try before you buy. I hate spending a...

Thanks for the informative link! BTW, for those who might be interested, my computer is a PC, not Mac.

Reaper looks interesting and creative. So where's the home site? Do I have to sell my soul to the devil to use it? I like end user flexibility (was slightly into programming years ago), but choosing the track input looked a bit scary to me. Are there ALWAYS a gazillion choices involved? See...

I am currently trying out the Line 6 guitar port and it's ok, but the recording software is kinda gimmicky, not very powerful/flexible. So I'm looking at returning it for something like the Presonus Firebox for example, but I am looking for suggestions. If you offer suggestions, please say...

I am a guitarist looking for s/w bass and drum accompaniment (not guitar/other accompaniment). I am into the blues and classic rock, some pop and hard rock too. I'm sort of centered around classic rock. Question What sequencer/studio music recording S/W is recommended for being perhaps...
