plastic Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm using a UA-101 and it's fuckin great. I can't imagine the FA-66 would be worse.

Is this like the equivalent of a mixer with all those inputs? Thing is at some point I'm gonna need to get a sound card and I want one which is gonna handle a lot. One which has on board dsp and can handle of lot of fx and vsti and that sort of shit itself. I think Firewall is cool because obviously its faster than usb and you don't have to fuck around installing it in the back of a pc so its effectly a long term investment and piece of equipment if you get the right one.

foresense Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yeah the FA-66 looks really nice. I want to get one as well. It even has MIDI.

Guest dextro Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Not a great fan of USB soundcards, but I hear the latest stuff is pretty good. I had an Edirol UA 25 that had some clicking issues and a dodgy volume knob. Swaped it for an Echo Indigo (Type II Cardbus card) which is awesome.

Guest dextro Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Apparently the mic pre-amps are good on the FA-66, neat price too. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/2654-edirol-fa-66-firewire-interface/#findComment-53537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
