I was trying to put together a gear list, and have zero cash for outboard gear. My interface choices are down to the PreSonus Firebox and Mackie Satellite.
I've used both interfaces for instrument recording, but haven't had a chance to record vocals yet. Does anyone have any input on which is better as a vocal preamp? I've heard good things about the Onyx preamps in the mackie unit. While I haven't heard anything bad about the Presonus preamps, I haven't heard anything good either.
The Mackie unit is $100 cheaper, and I know I can't do midi or SPDIF with it, but don't really need to at the moment, so it's really a question of "which mic preamps are more transparent" until I have money for outboard gear.
Any help?
