esi quatafire 610 vs. presonus firebox?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi!

I'm into electronic music production.
My PC configuration is AMD Athlon 64b +3GHz,
2x512Mb ram, Gigabyte k8ns ultra motherboard.
I'm not sure whether to buy quatafire610
or presonus firebox.

I know quatafire has a couple of more inputs
but what I am worried is how it works with
software I use - reason 3, Acid, Logic, Cubase.
As far as Firebox is concerned, there ahould be no
problem, regarding the review on soundonsound.com.

Also, I don't see that many people bragging
about Quatafire and I find it a bit strange.
I was thinking of buying edirol fa-66 or m-audio
firewire 410, but found out that there have been
some issues with them.

I wish there was a person who could say;
yes, dude, just go ahead and buy ......... 'cause
I know it works perfectly with PC such as yours
and with the software you use.
Is there such a person out there???

Also, i have juno 106 and some midi controller
that i use, and am thinking of buying microkorg
and electribe EMX in the near future.

Also, there is e-mu 1820
that seems atractive.
Which would you guys recommend out of
presonar firebox, esi quatafire610, edirol fa-66
and e-mu 1820?

Thanks!
