After 3 months of trying it out, I have to say the best audio interface under 1000.00 is (drum roll please....). Is the Presonus Firestudio. Sound quality wise and converters wise you have to move up to apogee to get better. I have had the motu interface and mbox 2 and although I don't use the mic preamps on it, I have the Grace M101 for that, I think it is the best. What do you think?
 
I think you don't have enough experience to say anything more than you like one thing over another.

Dude I've been recording over 15 years how u gone say I don't have experience who are you Quincy Jones every board has a hater, notice I said under 1000.00 I've worked on ssl and protools Hd on the production side but I'm starting to do my own engineering and mixing but after using alot of low budget audio interfaces I think it is the best. What do u use?

so what are you saying exactly???

are you saying that you would rather use the firestudio's preamp's than the grace's?

No indeed. I use the Grace mic preamps as my mic preamp. And I use the firestudio as my audio interface but I think for under 1000.00 it might be the best.

I think people can check your other recent posts and judge the truth of this statement for themselves.

Seriously ... don't front, it just makes you look even worse.
 
all my other post have been about mixing, speaker and mic questions. I'm learning to mix and engineer I used to go to other studios and bring my mpc or boards, I produced and by judging from your post you have a track record of hating. Hi hater. And since u know so much what do u use and I can show pics of my studio

I see...so you rock the grace for your preamp & the firestudio for your A/D converter...

One thing you might learn is that the first thing to do when you find that you've dug yourself into a whole ... is to STOP DIGGING.

Nobody with 15 - or even 3 - years of genuine recording experience would ask the kind of questions you do. Certainly not if they had been paying any kind of attention. There are certain things you would just pick up by being there, nahmean?

Think about it: You want people to respect your opinion on a recording interface when you've demonstrated that you really don't even know what you are doing - yet - with how to setup a mic for recording vocals, or "what order to do things when mixing down vocals" (as if there is some set order - silly question), or whether or not to normalize ... what were you doing for all of these suppose 15 years of your experience?

We're all here to help each other in one way or another ... just tone down the unearned swagger and you'll get along better (and learn more in the process) that way. There are too many people - like me - with 30+ years of professional experience on this board, so you can't front and get away with it.

Dude maybe you are right..... I should have said that I have 15 years of experience in producing but i been behind ssl and protool hd systems. I hated recording and mixing I just tracked my joints and bounced. So maybe I should have payed attention but hey a man has to learn soon a later but I can tell good quality, maybe not btter than you.... but anyway back to u, hold up you been recording for over 30+years behind the boards....so you ought to be about 50, so why are you on here with youngsters shouldn't you be thinking about AARP or something. No disrespect but I can stay on you all night. Lol!!!!!!!!! Get out of here you are killing me and shaming yourself. Get
a retirement gig.

I still am with dansgold on this one. I dont think you have a ear to tell the difference. What was your monitoring enviorment and moniotring chain that helped make your desission?
 
he gave his opinion on the interface get off his nuts. or name an interface thats better for under 1000 . im sick of people bickering back and forth and wasting my qaulity reading time. find a chat room or something

I had seen it before but never heard it but after reading some reviews online, it seems to be a a pretty decent unit sorry I couldn't help more

Well my studio is treated with auralex roominators, so its decent but not to get too technical, I just think its a great interface.

I think a lot of people would want to hear the "too technical" part.

Man Krushing and Obit, no offense, but you two don't have lives, so ya'll just keep beating a dead horse, what I mean about "too technical" is i'm not going to be drawing graphs and writing numbers like ya'll i'm trying to make money and that's what we got ya'll here for, let's move on anyway here is a link to pictures of my studio.

Decent set up. And I very much so have a life. Just thought your comments were a bit more of a opinion and didn't want to misguide anybody.

Thanks and that's how this whole thing started I made an opinion and some people took it to heart.
