very happy 
by jcaldwell , December 2005

i picked up this item so i could record all practices and performances directly off the mixing board channels. my goal was to step into tracktion because it was cheaper than protools, but the software's needed functionality is not quite there yet, and protools le 7 is an awesome upgrade, so i haven't moved fully to tracktion. still, i can ease the pains of using two platforms to a minimum if i keep the tracktion files all togehter in the AudioFiles of protools.

no matter. the firewire card does exactly what it says, and it does it GREAT. the ONLY complaint that you will have is the same one i heard before i got it - playing back from the computer to the mixer does not offer a way to control the volume on the mixer. the rest of the product is a great idea executed beautifully. it just would have been nice to have the computer-to-mixer send be a knob you can slowly bring up instead of a button where it's suddenly full-volume. it might be worth it to watch your bandmates jump, but if you're in the line of audio fire you definitely won't make that mistake twice.

great product. great company.
