I was just going to get a USB interface for my set up. The M Audio Pro Fire 610 is probably the best mobile fire wire device that I have used since I went digital years ago. There are plenty of smaller mobile devices but this one will give you a great sound.

This is one of the better mobile devices you can have. This is the perfect device for the mobile musicians or someone who moves around a lot. I did experience some lag with it on my pc laptop running Windows XP but I was able to over look that because of the quality that I was getting when recording with analog and digital signals. It ended up being my main interface for a while. So when using the M Audio ProFire 610 I already knew what to expect out of it. This is definitely one of the best interfaces that M Audio has made.Īny M Audio interface is going to be very good to use, they are well built and will work with almost any daw.

I have used several other interfaces by M Audio but none like the ProFire 610, don’t waste your time getting those cheap USB interfaces, if you have the money you mine as well just get the ProFire 610 because you will need it at some point or another. The manual is a rather small book, but its pretty to the point just in case you need it. I have had no compatibility issues with the ProFire 610, it has worked great on two different systems and with Cubase and Logic. It all works perfectly and has never caused me any problems or issues. It does come with Ableton Lite just in case you need a DAW to record with and don’t own one. All 8 of the line outs are great and the interface is very easy to set up and use. You will capture some great live performance with the ProFire 610 in stereo too. I was using it as my main interface for a while and it was one of the best ones that I have ever used. The ProFire was working great on my Dual Core PC and my Mac book at the time. I have received an updated for it maybe one time (when they came out with the windows 7 update), but I didn’t even download the update because I didn’t need it. All audio is transferred almost immediately and not latency is detected. I have used several different microphones and a ton of different synth keyboards with the ProFire 610. The reason that I purchased this interface is because of how good everyone said the preamps are. But if you are a veteran in the music game then this interface will work perfect for your home set up. If you are just starting out then I don’t suggest purchasing it because that will probably be out of your budget. The cost of this interface is 500 dollars. The M Audio ProFire 610 has 6 by 10 simultaneous analog and digital ins and outs with 2 preamps.
