Hello,

I've been working with a M-Audio FW410 for the past 4 years, with no problems, live and studio, using max/msp, logic pro, peak and protools m-powerd on 2 computers: an old powerbook G4/867 and a slight newer Imac G5/1.8.

The FW410 is ok, nothing to write home about, but it works in every condition, be it recording from phantom powerd mics live, or tracking 8 to 16 track music studio project or video soundtrack...

I bought one of the last (at least here, where I live, in Lisbon, Portugal) surviving 2.4 white macbooks with FIREWIRE!!!. Going from a G4 Titanium, is quite a leap, he's really fast with just 2GB of ram, that shares with the graphic board, running 10.5.6...

I'm seeking advise or experiences on the Alesis Multimix 8 FW mixer, it's a small analog mixer with a multichannel firewire interface built-in and is incredibly cheap. I keep on reading on the web, lots of problems with this mixer on the PC side, usually driver related, or the lack of 6 pin FW connections on PC's laptops... but almost none on the mac side.
Does it work ok, for multitracking? Bus powered? are the pre's clean enough? i know they are not prestine...
I know there are much better mixers/FW interfaces, Mackie, M-Audio, but they cost much more and are big to carry around on a bagpack, besides it can act as a small analog mixer for laptop work in the field where is going to work most of the time...


Please some help is needed,

Thank you for your patience,
CS
