M-AUDIO Firewire 1814 Unboxing.

[TIAGOmartinsize]

Are you Brazilian? As the box is written: Revenue, Ministry of Finance

[andrecarioni]

@TIAGOmartinsize yes im from brazil - santa catarina

[iickleJ]

I have a MacBook Pro & KRK R6 Studio Monitors, will the M-Audio Firewire 1814 connect these together, as well as allow me to record vocals using a studio mic? x.

[zkagtrendy]

excuse my ignorance what is this exactly?

[andrecarioni]

@zkagtrendy hello friend, no problems on asking when we dont know something: well rthis is a external soud card. is one apparatus needed for professional recordings, as the onboard computer soundcard (wich cames inside every new computer) cannot handle a recording session properly, because the onboard sound chips are so slow doing their math...so this external device, hooked up to a desktop computer later, can hadle up to 18 channels, or different instruments being recorded all same time.

Hi Andrecarioni, Thanks for uploading the video. I just have a quick question.

I am using the same sound card from M Audio but connected to a dell vostro 1500 laptop which is fairly equipped with 2 gigs of ram.

When I start recording using any software such as Music creator or Ableton , after a few seconds I start getting a beeping sound into the input and it stops the recording .. Any thoughts ??

Thanks..Srikanth

[andrecarioni]

@hnsrikanth probably the issue is your hardware. i am almost sure. 90% sure. for a proper recording and playing with this firewire soundcard, you need a firewire connection. this firewire MUST BE CONTROLLED BY A TEXXAS-INSTRUMENT brand makers of fine controllers chips. probably your controller is VIA, NEC or even SIS brand, wich is garbage for audio domain, understand? in other words: you need another card firewire adapter, TExAS chip.

how much did you pay for it? is it better than the 410, or 610?

[andrecarioni]

Around 4oo US. Yes its superior to 410/610 because it have way more input channels (18)

[andrecarioni]

@revolverfive i prefer this one cause is metal housing, sturdy, dont heat nothing...i dont remember how much i ve paid, but it was less than 400 usd

[U2DKECLIPSE]

what does thihng do best..I got it from a friend and haven't had a chance to use it yet

[andrecarioni]

This is a better sound-card for PC or MAC.

For small studios or portable recording stations, this soundcard is one of the options.

hope it helps.

would that work on a DELL Dimension 8110 desktop Celeron 80g hard drive 512mb of ram 2.53ghz. I'm plannign to buy an external hard drive like 500g or 760g

[andrecarioni]

dale, man, two things:

celeron is NOT the processor for audio editing (just change your processor to a pentium 4)

and

512 mega ram is NOTHING for audio editing.

upgrade it to 2 gig

[UrukHai999]

so cool the song!! ahah the chipmunks? :D

by the way, i bought it with pro tools m-powered 8.... COOL!

[andrecarioni]

lol but no! the video was accelerated, thus the audio embedded in the video also pitched up. the song is "peter tosh - peace treaty", amazing song btw.

my voice is normal cause i did voiceover.

[strratocaster]
