Presonus Firestudio or Mackie Onyx Blackbird
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 6:50 pm
I'm looking to get a 'prosumer' interface this january, and then if the royalty checks map out the way I expect plop down for a Lynx or RME later in the year. For now I'm looking for 8 mic/line pres in a single rack with firewire connectivity. Don't give a rip about software and sample bundles persay, just want the best h/w I can afford right now. I think I have it narrowed down to the Presonus and the Mackie, but am interested in any other contendors with this feature set and price range
Anyone have an opinion on either of the units. I like the Presonus because the connections are on the front, but I suspect that the Mackie pre's and converters might be a shade better based on what I've read. If that's the case I'll go with the mackie and build a small patch bay.
Thanks in advance
