RME vs. Apogee. I was thinking of getting the apogee DAC but was wondering if anyone had any insight into the sound quality compared to an rme. |

Any1 have any experience with the Presonus Audiobox USB?
Got one a few days ago and having serious latency issues! Only plays for a few seconds on the busy part of my track before audio drop!
Was using the creative Audigy ZS Platinum Pro and the latency was much much better on that! Quite shocked!
Remedial quest!
B'om B'om!!

A word of caution to people thinking of going for this .....
The latest drivers have just crashed my pc and many others don't have really great things to say about it either. In my case, I'm on PC Windows XP Ver 2002 SP2. The performance on Vista is shady too.
If you are looking for least hassles (which in my opinion is really what a USB interface should give you), steer clear until you are convinced these guys have sorted their drivers out!!
Here's to me headed back to the drawing board!! *cheers*

You should have bought the firestudio (firepod)
That's really good quality & firewire is more reliable then usb.
Don't know if the audiobox uses the same quality... |

Halu!
Currently I have the M-audio delta AudioPhile 2496..
It have served me really well..like no latency and no problems=) I'm into Cubase SX3 and Windows XP SP3 on a high power desktop computer(Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz; 3GB RAM)..At the moment I have Nord Rack 2 using the only audio input on the card..For monitors I have Dynaudio BM6A But soon i can afford a more pro card and a virus TI Desktop...So then i need a couple of more audio inputs on my new soundcard that i will buy when i invest in the virus..probably 3 + 1 for the nord right? and it could be cool to have maybe some more in case of buying any oldiesynth for fun in future=) So my question is..Can I buy a really good PCI card or do I need to buy a firewire card? Wich ones should I look closer to due to my upcoming needs=) ? Would be grateful for some good advice..peace! |

I've had arange of cards from maudio,esi,emu,echo,NI and wish i had gone for an RME the first time.
never had any problems with it sofar,all the others gave me trouble from time to time.
Rme has really got top grade converters.
Even Motu we had troubles with(ultralite).
Save yourself alot of headaches get an RME. |

seriously considering an apogee duet for my macbook pro, but would i need a special cable to connect the duet's unbalanced line outs to the balanced inputs on my monitors? or will the cables i already have for my m-audio firewire solo's balanced outputs (1/4 inch jack) to the xlr inputs or 1/4 inch jack inputs be fine?
This is just for bedroom setup, not involving super long cables. Cheers. |

I have a new MacBook Pro and Apogee Duet. The converters are the best available (or so I heard) but I really like that it is compact for mobility and the jog dial is great for quick volume adjustments. 75 dB of headroom.
But.....
No MIDI in and limitied connectivity. Also one output pair only so if you need to split your outs for DJ applications (there is a way!!). It's firewire, so your express slot is still available for something like the UAD2 box 
My workaround for MIDI (since I have keyboards that are MIDI only no USB, is to get a midisport or something. But if you're looking to track vocals or instruments on the go, the Duet is great. You might want more for your $500 though.
I had an E-MU 1616M which I still use but I think E-MU is gone these days.
