wondering if anyone has actually used the new PreSonus FireBox? Its been available in Europe for a month now... and just became available here in the US. I am wondering if any has tried this unit out... I am strongly considering gettting one. I would like to hear any reviews of this new interface.
any opinions? power consumption in the feild? etc. thanx -- Ian -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

Hey Munkfunki.....I hear you. I now have been using the the box for a week and starting to see to many little problems. The main one is when I record my vocal track, sometimes it sounds like someone is eating a bowl of rice crispies in my mic!
 so far it seems random? I have raised and lowered the buffer settings and nothing. Could this be a firewire cable, mic cable or my mac? I will call presonus on monday(tomorrow) and see what they say. Otherwise it's going back. Did you try raising your buffer settings? Fool around it may not be the firebox. |
