Sonar 4 PE & FIREPOD ... quality combo?

[EmmSee]

Is that a quality combo? I've heard good things about the FIREPOD.

Is there anything in a comparable price range with better pre's that I should check out?

I'm moving from my Roland VS-1880 to a total computer setup.
Right now I have a dedicated GigaStudio PC & a sequencer PC w/Sonar 3 SE.

on sequencer PC: P4 2.53 / 1GB RAM 80GB sys drive, 74GB SATA audio + DFHS drive

Well, the SONAR part of the combo is right on!! Don't know anything about the FIREPOD though.

Double-posting is generally frowned upon. Might want to close down one of the threads.

I just got the RME Fireface 800. Well, actually a month ago, but I have been too busy to test it. Now I have spent 3 days trying to make it work with Sonar 4 PE. We have found the problem to be with Sonar, since all drivers work with a Samplitude demo. Just to let you know. Fireface 800 is probably the best firewire based soundcard, but perhaps not with Sonar? My impression is the other guys have had less trouble with MOTU stuff.

... Still, some actually have Sonar working with Fireface. Lucky them.
