#Need to get a pci firewire card for my pc for home studio pro#
I run a Tascam US-144 MKII with my laptop and it’s totally stable but I can’t get the low latency like my desktop firewire Pro 40. USB 2.0 can be extremely stable but low latency (if that is a concern) seems to be limited to the higher end (like RME). Not much news on any USB 3.0 interfaces from what I can see. It almost seems like firewire is on it’s way out for one reason or another. I’m running Gigabyte onboard TI with my Focusrite Pro 40 with good results. Texas Instruments is generally regarded as the safest. What motherboard are you working with? If you decide to go the firewire route do some research on compatible firewire chipsets for any given interface/soundcard. It is lower Latency but for home recording, maybe not to the extent that its like a massive issue. I think most Pros use Firewire and its kind of established as the better way to go. USB vs Firewire, I feel is a debate which matters less n less as time goes on. To be honest if you look on line and Google it, you’ll find an endless never-ending sea of posts debating which is the best way to go. So they say, its faster and has lower latency. Im sure USB interfaces are pretty good these days, but i think the majority of people, who are after the best they can get, go with firewire. They also have a USB version, The focusrite Saffire 6 I believe.

The drivers are also well established for Windows 7. The integration software which comes with most models, Saffire MixControl, is outstanding. I can recommend Focusrite, The pre amps are very high quality, they have models with just the right ins n outs your after and you wont have any problems with them. If its quality your after, you’ll find some pretty damn good firewire interfaces around the high end point of your budget. My advice if your looking for an external audio interface would be to go for Firewire, rather than USB. Should i stick to PCI or is a usb 2 device the way to go ? I’ve had a look at m-audio.emu,tascam, yamaha, presonus, motu USB devices in this price range and i’m a bit unsure still.Īny recommendations for this price range ? So are usb audio interfaces external soundcards or do i have to read the small print?
i cant work out whether this means thats all they are, a means of plugging in audio devices to record or do they take some of the processing duties away from the CPU, as my old emu used to do?
When i research the USB devices most of them are described as ‘audio interfaces’. Only looking to spend £100-175 for the soundcard. So, with a decent upgraded PC(which will be used mainly as a DAW) with only one PCI slot, should i be looking for a pci or usb 2 external card ?
Gonna get cubase 6 (possible artist version)

I’ll be running it on windows 7, the emu card struggled a bit when i upgraded from Xp,so not sure if its had its day or whether to persevere, trying to install it on old drivers to a new system just for demo’s and compositions, nothing professional, but obviously as good as possible quality. Its just for home studio use these days, reasonable price, couple of ins and outs. Used to have an okay little set using an emu1820m card with Sx3 and a home built pc, which, due to circumstances have not really touched for 5 years.
