A Subtil Problem Of Firewire 410! pls Help! thanks., really, has this device a "quality" so cheap... Options

[Anduuu]

Hi there!

I have a big problem with Firewire 410! The MOST important thing about it-->audio recordind/mic preamps, is "falling down"! WHY????......couse:
I expected that this device to record very clear audio tracks, so I to be able to gain them software WITHOUT the big noise gathered with it....
So, I've got a Studio Projects B1 microphone that works perfectely with Fast Track Pro preamps(even when GAIN KNOBS are max pozition), BUT with Firewire 410 it's almost exactely vice versa:
--When I recording it or even I talk to the mic with gain, THIS GAIN has a tinkle sound signal gathered with my speaking/recording....this stuff behave like would be the device signal-to- noise "quality";[/b]
[b]--I made all tests I could (Cubase SX2 audio, Sony Sound Forge, Cakewalk, even real time talking), but all the same---looks like "its higher quality signal sound"!!! I tested with another mic and same issue;
-- my question is>>>is this a real issue of it(and what is it - remember that my device is installed and works perfectely); >>>OR this is ALL THIS BOX CAN DO--I mean FW410 has a cheap audio recordind signal and sound..........
SO, PLEASE elucidate for me THIS problem/mistery....couse I'm tired of it, it brought me down...IT really worth the effort, or I should get out of it (even it's OK and seem to work perfectely on the other hand)???
thanks anticipated,Boan

Dear Anduu,
I hope you are overcoming your problems with your Firewire 410.Please let me know if you resolved them and the process you acquired. As I said in my initial communication to you, I've just bought one, and it won't communicate with my MacBook Pro using Cubase SX3.
I regret you vented your frustrastrion to Mac Daddy and myself (Tweedmusic), however, I'm over that..I'm still interested if you are overcoming your signal,gain issues, as I to seek clarity, and want to know if the the Firewire 410 produces the required results.
To clarify where I'm coming from Anduu.... I haven't just popped out of the grass, I have been a professional Musician and Music Teacher for 31 years, however I am new to the audio realm.I am not into the whole gobbilygook rave techno head computer reliant generated "music" hype.I am interested in communicating with real musicians, who are interfacing with the digital recording domain using Mac OS 10.4.10, Cubase SX3,Cubase 4, and M-Audio Firewire 410 Interface. If anyone reads this posting and uses the aforementioned equipment please provide info,links etc to common ground.
Hope to hear a positive outcome from you.
Cheers
