/So I've been looking into getting one of these guys and was wondering how you have found them to be?
The two main things that I want to get out of it is
1) an overall boost in the quality of the sound source that is being recorded to computer. I.E a wider volume range. In the past I've just been recording via a mixer directly into the mac's built in input, doing it track by track.
2) Is it possible to multitrack live to seperate tracks. E.G if the firewire audio interface has 4 seperate inputs can each of those inputs be assigned to 4 seperate tracks in a software program so that live mutlitracking can be done? anybody have experience with this?
I have a Mac Book Pro with 2 gb ram.
Having been looking at these:
Both of these are 300

Then this is a more expensive but has more mic Pre amps. But, is only really worth getting if I can multitrack live onto seperate tracks. + I've read the pre amps are quieter than the firestudio mobile + isn't particuarly portable looking

Then this is more expensive again but is supposed to be good. Then again only 2 preamps.

So does anybody have any experience with these?
What I want to be able to do ultimately is to multitrack record basic tracks of a live band in a room and then bounce these down and add more parts afterwards over the "live" sound.
thanks.
