'Where studio tans are worn with pride!'
Anyone using the Apogee Duet FireWire or Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Audio Interfaces ?
Right now I'm using a Line 6 Tone Port as my audio interface.
It's not the best. I'm not happy with the gtr sounds when I record.
I'm looking into the Apogee Duet Interface. I did a A/B comparison with the Line 6 Tone Port and the Duet sounds a lot better.
However I heard some bad things about the Duet. Like sound dropping out and other things.
Also the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 seems it may be a good choice. plus I would prefer a rack unit.
Anyone use them ?
What do you thing ?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi, I have used a Duet for about a year. Recently found a problem in one channel. When phantm power is activated there is a huge noise in that channel. Just sent the unit back for repair, but dont know yet if that will be free. I got a motu 828 km2 to replace it for the moment and that seems to be working ok. Would suggest the preamps and quality in the Duet are superior, but it depends what you want. Duet has two channels, the motu and the saffire offer a lot more functionality for the money.

Hi,
line 6 has serious latency issues. Never used the focusrite intefaces...
got a tc konnekt48, which when stable is great, but when installing is a nightmare, i got latency @ 1,3ms @ 96khz
just been to a friends studio, he got 0,8ms with apogee symphony card & ext apogee ad & da rack gear, on a new mac;
but it's 10x what i paid for my setup, so i'm still happy.
check rme - good allround.
all depends on price-scale and what u need from it. playback/rec in same session , number of i/o , latency , midi .
hope this helps
