anyone know?
-
been wondering the SAME thing jonny, looks hella suite tho
i trust firewire anyday over usb so this could be cool
-
i just ordered mine, and can do a 410 vs. vx pocket test when i get it, im sure
-
dustin lemme know when you've got some results.
-
right on man, i ordered it yesterday and it will ship ups (i think ups) tomorrow, i can do a test as soon as i get it
hopefully this thing is bulletproof with my picturebook via firewire, then the vx pocket is outta here also
-
yah if it works well im gonna get one for my powerbook
-
Well Dustin ordered the Firewire 410, not the Firewire Audiophile, right? Two different animals.
-
i sure hope the firewire audiophile is bit perfect. i've been using it as an interface between the V3 and the lappy for a couple months now and, if anything, it's much more stable than the 410. if you're just looking to pass a 24 bit signal to your laptop, then the fw audiophile is the way to go, IMHO.
-
ahhh, yes i bought the 410 not the audiophile, my mistake
-
jef, would you be willing to test the audiophile for bit perfectness?
-
how would i go about doing that?
-
do you have a dat deck or one you can borrow?
-
i can probably get my P1 back from bean.
-
got a better solution. take a dat, clone it. then someone does a transfer using a known bit perfect source, you do a transfer using the audiophile, then put the wavs side by side
you only need to do about 20 minutes max. that will probably be good enough
-
i don't have any way to make a DAT clone. i'd be happy to send you or anyone else one of my masters to do a clone and transfer. let me know.
-
jef, unfortunately i cant do it right now, most of my free time is booked up witht his move to dc, but lets see if we cant find someone who can make the clones.
-
anyone ever test one out? thinking of getting one of these and want to make sure it's bit perfect.
-
If your talking about the 96/24 audiophile firewire I've been using one for around 9 months. I use it for a coax to firewire converter for my lap top when recording to 96/24, which is about all I record to these days.
I do use the aux sends on 1 and 2 and the headphone outs to monitor my mix from a sound board when working with bands doing sound.
For what I use it for it works well. However, make sure you get one with the latest software upgrade or down load it from M-audio's web site.
I maybe looking to move mine and would let it go cheap if the planets aline perfect. Offer me a price if you want it and I'll consider it.
