hi all

just wondering if any1 had any experience with there units? whats the a-d conversion like compared to other stuff? eg. a16 etc

i was thinking of using 1 as a A/D between a supernova2 and my pulsar 2 card.

recommended?

Just my opinion....

For the cost of the Firestation.....you could do better with a standalone dedicated A/D.

The A/D conversion in the Pulsar isn't too bad as is....so in order to actually improve upon it to a noticeable degree...you might want to look at some higher end pieces.

Apogee, Lucid, and Benchmark are a few names of manufacturers of high end conversion products.

Hope this helps.

i'll love a apogee or a RME converter, but i dont have much funds. i can get a firestation fairly cheap from overseas (1100-1200 aus dollars), which is ok, the features on it are not too bad, preamps, firewire, mlan, midi, but i'll be using the a/d only at this stage. Pure high end sound isnt essential, i just need to pipe the outs from a supernova2 into my pc.

Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know, but wouldn't a more elegant and cheap solution be to buy the ADAT i/o expansion for your Supernova2?

peace

Good point!

The ADAT I/O would be really a great way to go!

I recommend the above solution as well.

I have to say that everthing I heard presonus made, sounds absolutly awesome...

of course it would be super cool to get the expansion board, but novation scrapped the adat project. i've been rallying them for months with a petition. Since it's not financially viable for them the project got shafted.

because of this, i aint gonna buy another novation product in the future. damn morons.

hence i'm getting a a/d..
