in actual fact I tried the card on two IBm's 1 clone with different parts, and two of my dell units, and got nothing but frustration with the presonus stuff. Every one of my clients complained to me as they were doing their sessions, and I had simply explain that it was the card doing this. In fact one of my clients actually walked out of my studio, and thats when I decided that enough was enough, and went motu. However, I have heard of folks who use the presonus cards with out any problems. Just make sure that when you do purchase the card that you have an exchange policy at the store where you purchase it, in that you could get something else if the presonus doesn't work for you.----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 9:55 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: presonus audio interfaces? Yeah Phil said the same thing earlier about the pops and clicks. It must be one of those things where it depends on the system I guess. Good to know though.

Hi there have you considered the Motu pre8, or Motu 828mk3, they are fantastic interfaces, I use to own the presonus firepod, and thaught it was a fantastic card too, but I somehow had issues with pop's and clicks on all my systems, and no mattter what I did to resolve the issue, there was no getting around to solve my pop, and click issue, and I hav been using motu products ever since, and things couldn't be smoother in my studio. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 3:40 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: presonus audio interfaces?

Hello, Has anyone on here used any audio interfaces by Presonus? I'm looking to possibly purchase one of their higher end audio interfaces, and I was wondering if their software is accessible with jaws. Thanks. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
