8ch FireWire or USB Interface w/ PT MP9
I'm in need of buying a compatible 8ch Mic Input FireWire or USB Interface to use with Pro Tools MP 9.0.5. I've seen the following units however I can't find good online info. to confirm compatibiliy. If anyone can guide me to an online resource, I would greatly appreciate it. If you have experience, pros & cons with certain units, please let me know.
- Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (read something about ASIO problems) - PreSonus FireStudio Project (old model was FireStudio) - M-Audio ProFire 2626 (read about Low Latency Monitoring problems) (I believe it's discontinued. What's replaced it?) - Mackie Onyx Blackbird - Steinberg MR816 X - Roland Octa Capture 10x10 System: MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8, M-Audio FW410, Axiom 61, Yamaha NS-10 monitors |

Re: 8ch FireWire or USB Interface w/ PT MP9
Isn't Pro Tools MP a version that forces you to use M-Audio hardware?
http://www.avid.com/us/products/protoolsmp M-Audio appear to cutting back on their interfaces, you want my opinion, avoid them! Pray you never get a problem because their service is horrific!

Re: 8ch FireWire or USB Interface w/ PT MP9
Dougfather is correct.
If you are using MP9, you are required to use an M-Audio interface, so that narrows your possibilities. It's only "regular" Protools that allows you to use any interface. |

Re: 8ch FireWire or USB Interface w/ PT MP9
So the ProFire 2626 is my only option for an 8ch interface. Does anyone know what limitation I'll have for sample rate trying to use all 8 channels at once? The max sample rate for PT MP9 says 96k although I've seen some notes out there stating I might not get that when trying to use all 8 channels on the ProFire 2626. Is there anywhere I can confirm what it really is?

Re: 8ch FireWire or USB Interface w/ PT MP9
I have a FireWire 410 which is M-Audio compatible. Can I add something like the Saffire Pro 40 via FireWire daisy chain to the 410? I don't believe the 410 has ADAT but will this scenario give me the added channels in ProTools MP9 to record?

No, because it will not recognize the Sapphire, being M-Powered. Again, you need regular Protools.
