On this point we agree.

firebox is great...i love how its such a solid unit. couldn't really see a reason to ever need to upgrade from it, does exactly what its supposed to do (i haven't tested it out with a mic yet, although that would be a bummer if i have those noise issues as stated, although i've plugged a bass into the instrument port, and it recorded very clean, so was impressed by that)

Originally posted by DigiNut I still don't get this nonsense about TI Firewire either. It's unnecessary for the Firebox because it's unnecessary, period.

That's because the Firebox is a gun AI, unlike most others. If you're going to dispute that non-TI firewire chipsets on alot of certain motherboards didn't have a problem though then you better tell that to the people on this 48 page thread One of the major reasons I got a Firebox is because it seemed to be the only one without problems.

Once again, I know that there are plenty of bad Firewire chipsets out there, but the make doesn't intrinsically have anything to do with it. There are bad TI chips, and there are bad non-TI chips. Maybe TI had fewer bad ones than other OEMs, maybe not. Who cares.

I only responded to your first post because you were in awe of the fact that it works with "non-TI firewire". If you'd simply said that it works with "the cheap, buggy Firewire implementation on many Dell computers" then it would have sounded a lot less silly. It's buggy because it's buggy, though, not because it's "non-TI".

Was using the preamps with a shure sm58 and everything sounded just fine to me....

Originally posted by Allied Nations Just picked one up for $250, it's used but in very good condition, barely used because it didn't work on the previous owner's computer. So far it sounds amazing and was instant plug and play on my macbook pro. It's also super portable exactly what I wanted. Sounds good in Logic Pro and I think it will take my productions to a new dimension- my monitors sounds like they never have before! (Probably because before I had them plugged in through the headphone jack to a Y cable to a vestax mixer out to unbalanced RCAs) Now I have the firebox and two 1/4 inch studio quality cables... Will continue to review as I use it more, but so far so good!

i love mine
