NEW REVIEW - Not a ProjectMix IO

I needed a firewire interface just like a ProjectMix but without the control surface. This product seemed to be it but wasn't. Headphone 1 is locked to line outs 1 and 2, headphone 2 is locked to line outs 3 and 4, so the mains should use 5 and 6. There goes all those extra line outs. Gain knobs on front only effect the Mic in, not line in. XP drivers prevented XP from booting when interface was on. Drivers showed up as Multi when using WDM (probably ASIO too) instead of separate stereo pairs. This caused external insert problems with Sonar 8 and 8.5. Even media player had problems with this sometimes (when the drivers didn't boot right). Get a ProjectMix IO and live with the control surface... it's great!

Wow!

I was originaly torn between the 2626 and the 003, but I am very happy I went with the ProFire! The 8 pre-amps sound crystal clear and the A/D converters blow the 003 out of the water! After reading review after review about this product everyone seemed to say the same thing.. The 2626 was far supioror to the 003.

Best interface for the money!

There are far better systems out there, but this is one of the cheapest ways to get into a Pro Tools system. So far I have had no problems using this interface at my church, even recording 18 simultaneous tracks at 24 bit 96 KHz. The only problem I have had is the required CS update required for Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 to recognize it. But this can be found for free at Digidesign’s website. It should be noted that this is the only Pro Tools LE/M-Powered interface (as of now) that can take 18 simultaneous 96 Khz I/O. making the Profire2626 the closest thing to a HD system that you will get without spending a lot of money.

Great Interface...

I've now recorded a number of tunes with this thing. Drivers install fine(go to M-Audio's Website to get the most current, which can also be updated from the control panel), the unit is stable, 8 preamps help with certain situations althought they're not the greatest in comparison with some of the other pres I have, but they're usable for under snare and stuff like that. The 2 adat ports are a nice feature to have so your not stuck with just 8 optical ports but rather 16, then you add spidf which give you another 2 inputs as well as wordclock in/out. That's really when this unit comes alive. I have mine clocked to a Stereo96 Mytek converter unit which has a darn stable clock and it sounds great this way. All in all, it's a great unit if you're doing a full album for someone and multi-track a lot like I do. While still the thing I do most is vocals, every other feature this thing packs is usable and not just something extra that goes to waste and you'll never use. Solid unit.

This is what you want....

If any of you out there are thinking about getting a firepod or firestudio or any of the presonus entry level interfaces, dont. Save up the extra 3 or 4 hundred and get this. The octane pres are clean and quiet. also if you want to get into a pro tools DAW this is one of the only interfaces that can do it in this price range. I run a focusrite trakmaster and presonus studiochannel into this and they sound amazing, even the built in pres hold their own when using both the other pres while tracking drums. This is one hell of a buy.
