UnBoxing Presonus FireStudio26x26 & Review

[420squeeg]

Dude, the USB units are all "prosumer," at best, at least from what I've seen. If you want a true pro setup, then you have to go with firewire. Oh, also, nobody cares about problems that a 9 year old OS has.

awesome video lol

[ColdGripHandle]

this is very sad. The firewire is the part that I thought was awesome in how you can daisy chain. That would be way cheaper than purchasing a digital snake with 32 inputs

Wow I was going for one of those I still need more info maybe this guy is wrong or fucked up somewhere

[edguyrocks]

Good video my friend. I currently use a MAudio Delta card and Omni I/O. No problems...had it for years now. I saw a Firestudio locally for $200! I was thinking about grabbing it, but not sure if the mic pres are much better. I don't need that many, but seemed like a good used price.

I am tentative with Firewire as well. My friend got a MAudio 410, and we installed the drivers at least 6 times, finally got it to work...but it wasn't stable at all. Piece of shit. his delta 1010 is better

Im new to this stuff and am looking into buying something like this. What is the difference between 10x10, or 26x26? Whats that mean? Thanks

Your #1 con is moot. How you can you blame this device for a known bug for Microsoft. You even screenshot the site from MS showing you that there's a problem and they don't care to fix it. USB was developed for PC and 1394 was developed for Apple. Don't blame PreSonus that Windows XP can't manage hardware interfaces correctly.

@carlosinfl Good points. Well at least we no there is a problem with firewire and pcs

[peterhuismanonline]

Don't use Windows! :p

[chino9992]

it has phantom power right? lol @ yakaty sax

[ilovesabian1n1]

hey man, should i get this or the firestudio project? does anybody know any other good ones that are similar?

[OhYeaIRemeber]

Great review! thank you (:

[AdmiralBud]

Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 + Steinberg Nuendo on PC FTW!!!!!!

[robdrums69]

Didn't you try changing the driver to LEGACY TEXAS INSTRUMENTS in your Operating system? that's what I had to do to take care of problems with my MOTU ULTRA lite... this prob would have saved you from taking it back..

Peace

hail the mighty macs bro.

[doodoobutter6689]

You seem like a really cool guy but i have to disagree. I think the Firestudio is great. I've been running it in my studio for a long time, i push mine to the ABSOLUTE LIMIT EVERYDAY and mine has always kept up. I do recommend using mac... that might be your problem.

I always had problems till i switched to Logic and Pro tools using a mac.

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

Heya doodoobutter, thanks for the reply. Your exactly right. Windows XP has always had problems with firewire. I don't know if Windows 7 does but I imagine on a Mac, the firestudio would work great as would most firewire units. I'm actually thinking about getting a MacBook Pro 17" for shows.

I love Pro Tools. I've never used Logic but would love to try it someday. I hear lots of good things.

[doodoobutter6689]

yea i would deff invest in a macbook pro.. they are very hard working computers that you can rely on and trust, unlike pc... But about logic, I LOVE IT!! I used protools for a long time then i found Logic. Logic grabbed my attention and i never went back to protools.. lol

I just love the way Logic is lade out. It seems to make my work flow a little faster.... You should deff try it.

[lasttearzstudio]

I've use Firestudio for a long time, and it is one of the best interface, and use it with win 7 64bit, but win 7 still have the glitch problem with firewire, i recommend not using window and go into mac

[delparian]

Hola!!!.. TE FELICITO por todo lo que compraste!!! ES EL SUEÑO DE CUALQUIER MUSICO!!!... jaja. Te cuento: Soy de Argentina, y desgraciadamente, aca pagamos todo 4 veces mas caro. Por ejemplo, es como que vos pagues este juguete u$s 2500 masomenos. Y realmente cuesta mucho progresar asi. Por eso probablemente lo pida a Estados Unidos por encargue... Una vez mas, TE FELICITO! me gustaria que fuese facil conseguir todo aca. Pero no se puede :( ...

[maw662]

I'm in a band and we use a Delta 1010

At my home compy I use an E-MU 1616

I totally recommend both.

[TrppyTV]

FUKUN KILLER VID. 500 fukun stars

[callmemurphz]

good review.. lol im totally not buying this ;p

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

Hey man thanks for the comment. If they work out the bugs it will be kool. I'm tyring to decide if I'm buying a new setup or getting a cardbus to hook up the Emu1616

[LadyDemonesque]

[angeleyesluvsjj]

[FallenAngeLsBODYMODS]

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

I use Sony Vegas. It's great. I've tried Adobe Premier which is also good, and Adobe After Effects which is really good but complicated. Thanks for commenting :D
