Hi,
I think (please take that with a grain of salt) that I've narrowed down the choice for the type of soundcard down to either the Emu 1820 M or Presonus Firepod.
My requirements are multiple inputs, built-in good preamps, abiliity to do MIDI, and keeping the price under about $800 U.S. for the soundcard. (I am allotting another $1000 U.S. to buy a motherboard, 3 hard drives, memory etc. , and will be editing digital video on the computer in addition to making it a DAW).
If I go with the Firepod, and given that it comes with Cubase LE, I also am wondering what people think about either using LE with the Firepod, or starting off with Sonar 4. Is there any inherent disadvantage with using LE at first and then switching to Sonar later? For example, will I be able to seamlessly import previous projects recorded in LE into Sonar?
