I have a strange problem with my EMU 1616... When I use the DSP effects, the latency is huge and it eats loads of the computers CPU ???!!! Am I somehow patching wrong, or what the hell is going on?

I have been told the Mackie d.4pro firewire mixer can be your Audio interface/soundcard. The website says it also. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions about this?

I would need an advise....
After reading and talking to some people i`ve decided to get an Emu404....so far so good!!!! Any one can advise if the PCI version is better than the USB?
Also, this soundcard/interface will allow me to plug in my synth with no major problems? Im talking about a Xio synth....
Thanks in advance for the help....

infact with xiosynth you wouldnt need an additional interface at all, as it has its own... with another inputs for extra synth or guitar etcc
anyway the xiosynth is a good choice from what ive heard and the audio functions seem usable enough (when compared to the 0404 usb)

So you are saying that the interface in the synth is actually better than the Emu404????
And interms of the emu404 do you know which one is better ( the internal or the external)?

the internal PCI is always gonna be better in performance, quality in sound is the same.
the emu s coverters and preamp may be a tad better, but i dont think its a great difference, specially not for recording the xiosynth and a guitar for example.. in fact it may be a lot messier.

when i went to a shop to buy one (it was, if i remember well, two years ago or so, and they just were out, so things probably have changed) the seller pointed at two recently sold ultralites that just came back to the shop with problems. so i went for a 828fw.
good you do this check but with no response here, do another check also i would say.
these days i would prefer a good UL over the 828 because i am moving around a lot. |

all the firewire stuff goes bad with PC's, i have a Firebox for example and it works poorly when plugged to PC.
Mac = go for firewire
PC= go for PCI or USB2 |

Firewire has to be 6 pin to work great, a 4 pin one will give you loads of pain in the... Disconnects as soon as you touch the wire. All the time. Same setup but 6 pin works perfectly

Most problems with motu and pc are caused by the firewire cards, but if you have a Texas Instruments firewire card you shouldn't have any problems. I had some problems with my motu 828mkII for some time, and I couldn't figure out the problem for a while, in the end it was one of the settings in my bios that caused the conflict, now it runs nice and smooth. Ultimately it's the next best thing to RME, but even in the quality of sound I don't think there is any noticeable difference between the two. RME has more stable stable drivers, and better mic preamps. But price value wise, UL is very good. |

With Pci interfaces you can achieve 2ms even with heavy cpu load, on Firewire its dificult to get less than 5 ou 8 ms.
