  • Midrange IO for Pro Tools

    As reviewed by Robert Guyser on 10/24/2006

    Recently it became time to record the bands practices in preperation for trying to make an album. Research into an appropriate soundcard led me toward the M-Audio device. I initilly considered a Tascam device, but ruled it out for a few reasons. The Firewire 1814 has an ADAT port for additional IO, 2 decent preamps which can record at 192khz, 8 1/4 inputs, etc. The realselling point though is bound to be M-Audio's low price entry for Pro-Tools LE. Having used cakewalk, cubase, logic, etc., I have been intrigued by Pro Tool's popularity. Now, having had some experience with PT, I am begining to make a real choice which DAW(s) I will use. In comparison to similarly priced cards, the Firewire has some perks, mainly the ADAT IO which promises signifigant expandability. If I was purchasing a soundcard again, 1 month later, I would make the same purchase.

  • Soundcard of the stars?

    As reviewed by Bev on 10/30/2006

    No, probably not (try the oo2,oo2r) - however, 'soundcard of the aspiring star' may be appropriate. With the massive interest in Pro Tools, be it name brand fetishism (ie. apple) or an honestly supperior recording environment, if you do computer recording and it isnt on pro tools, you will get frowns of incomprehension from many people who think that nikes are the only running shoe. So, that being a given, M-audio is in the perfect position to really capture signifigant mid-range market share. Lower the price of PT LE to $150, and provide a $400 hardware entry point(or less), and all of a sudden ALL the other soundcard makers, no matter how good their device are on the defensive. Amazing really. My experience with the FW1814 has been mixed. The first one I got would not work at all. After being bad-mouthed by the pro audio department who couldnt comprehend of a unit arriving DOA, the second unit worked fine. After shaking my head at the cleary sub\\non-standard firewire compatability(no hot swap, PC must be off to hook up), i was up and running in no time. The card worked very well at a variety of bit rates on my P4 laptop, but unexpectidly horrid digital pops started appearing. After many hours of editing my regstry, turning off visual effects, etc. I found the culprit in the form of ACPI\\APIC settings. These issues are NOT detailed at all on maudio's site, even though it is clearly a big problem. I would in fact recomend this card though. Bang for buck is good, and you will certainly make fine recordings with this card and pro tools (or most any 'pro' card and any daw.. But dont tell the product-lusters and label-whores.
