It’s been way too long since I’ve done any music creation. Perhaps in a couple of months when I get the home into a decently organized state, I’ll look for some studio gear for the spare bedroom and this new gizmo from NAMM will probably be pretty high on my list:
PreSonus FireStudio FireWire Recording Interface (Complete System)
A few months ago, I had gotten fairly close to buying the FirePod or FireBox on the basis of great reviews that it was getting, but then I got sidetracked by other stuff, including the new home. The FireStudio is an even more powerful piece of gear so if the reviews are good and I get some time to make room for it, I might end up picking one of these.
I have been looking at the firepod, but after looking at the capbilities of the firestudio, especially the better pre-amps and multiple monitoring options I plan on getting one soon, I am really hoping it lives up to expectations as it does have some great reviews.
