My Christmas present from Cece :kimmie:



FireWire 410 is a FireWire-compatible audio/MIDI interface that has it all—power, flexibility, compact size and low price. Its 4-in/10-out configuration with preamps is perfect for personal recording, routing discrete outputs to a mixer, or directly driving a surround sound system. The on-board ASIO 2-compliant mixer and software control panel provide total routing flexibility—including monitoring with external effects. You also get ultra-low latency software monitoring and zero latency hardware direct monitoring—and two headphone outs with independent level controls let you collaborate with a partner anywhere, anytime. FireWire 410 can even be completely bus-powered for total mobile operation*.

I know a guy that just got one of those, he likes it a lot, uses it for high quality sound output.

Watcha gonna use it for? Recording mixes?

Mostly for audio recording but also for production. It ties in very nicely with Reason.
