Hey guys.
I'm starting to build a home studio and Im lost on which interface to get.

I already have a line 6 ux2 and my opinion is kinda lukewarm.
It sounds great if you plug in an acoustic or a synth, but when it comes to electric/bass it




isn't the cleanest sounding thing in the world.
Maybe it's just because I haven't found the
right sound.

But I am looking for a 8 channel interface for recording drums and ability to record jams (even though I'm gearing toward a more serious recording structure).

I heard the ux8 is a CPU hog and that USB<FireWire. But I'm familiar with POD farm and how the interface works so the transition to the ux8 would be
a breeze.

Then there's the firestudio
i've heard great things about the interface, and it's FireWire.
I don't know a whole lot about it, but it doesn't seem to different than the ux8
in terms of usability.

Which one should I get?
 
I was in the same boat you are and I chose the UX8. I am very happy and it sounds great. It doesn't seem to be much of a CPU and I haven't had any issues with it. The free download of Pod Farm Platinum made it even more with it.
