If you buy the FireWire 410 - be warned that the device is not a hot swappable firewire compliant device. If you unplug it while your computer is on you stand the chance of damaging your firewire port. I blew out mine while trying to initially install it. I would definately recomend staying away from this product.

I have this interface hooked up from my computer to my home theater, via optical sound. It seems to do the trick. Having multiple outputs is pretty neat too, however I still haven't figured out how to use them all. Perhaps its just laziness from not reading the manual. I'm using the second headphone jack as an additional speaker output which lets me control the volume right off the interface. Ever since installing this device, my midi to usb works again. Granted I could hook the midi straight through the interface, but if it aint broke don't fix it. Recording vocals is good too. I was recording straight through the motherboard previous. How bloody awful that was. This device solved that problem. The blue LED light is REALLY bright and I cover it because it blinds me :o) The volume controls on the device are great. You can really creep the volume up with it. Nice. Tech support was also very courteous and helpful. I was on hold for quite a while though.

This unit has quite a remarkable price/performance ratio. Sure, Pro Tools HD will show this thing who's boss, but at this price, this little dude demands to be heard. I recently added some Rokit RP5s to go along with the 410 (along with a pair of Audio-Technica M40fs headphones to match the RP5s), and the results are astounding. DVD-Audio (Metallica's Black album in this case) sounded amazingly clear and warm and rich, with none of the digital harshness (ugly sounding highs with lows often too overpowering) that frequently accompany more mainstream consumer-level audio products. Software synths like Native Instruments' Absynth or Steinberg's Hypersonic sound extremely realistic and very deep. All the smallest details can be heard. Heavy distortion or clean tones transfer beautifully to software like Cubase. For under $1000, you can have a private studio with audio quality only dreamed of a few years ago.A few things to be aware of - a fast hard drive and a fast computer in general with lots of RAM are pretty much a requirement to get the most out of the 410. Also, be prepared to fork over some more cash for studio monitors (at the very least, a nice pair of headphones, otherwise you're kinda defeating the purpose of the 410).One of the best purchases I've made!!

Many of the negative reviews of the Firewire 410 posted are in my opinion symptoms of the purchaser's computers' limitations. Many factors can affect the "performance" of a digital audio interface. I'm no expert, but I have a good aptitude for reading manuals, and a good aptitude for the general properties of digital audio. Latency and lack of memory issues can be demonstrated by symptoms of popping, and crackles in a recorded track with any interface, USB or Firewire. Often it's a matter of setting the correct buffer size in the recording software or adding memory that can help avoid this issue. A deficit in memory can cause freeze-ups and anomalys in the final tracks. I would be inclined to believe that many of the complaints about this product could be fixed if folks understood the limits of their computers that they plug these interfaces into. It only amplifies these issues when you are utilizing a firewire (faster) interface to record music. The computer can't keep up. I have purchased the M-Audio Firewire 410 and found it to demonstrate all of these symptoms reviewers have described, except I was able to resolve the issues. I benchmarked my own computers' limitations and got back to reality that just because I spent $299 for an interface that it isn't a cure-all for recording the perfect track. So I can confidently say that IF you have a computer that meets the minimum requirements have a good knowledge of the properties of digital audio (Know what latency is, have enough memory, and how to adjust your buffer size), this interface performs superb. An analogy would be if you painted a rock, it may look good. It's still a rock. you can't buy something that will compensate for a lack of knowledge of digital audio and poor computing performance. this product may only amplify the shortcomings mentioned above, mainly because it performs better than a soundcard. Step out of the box, M-audio has partnered with Pro Tools. Most things you hear in the mainstream media were produced with Pro Tools. Get it?

Easy to setup - a single Firewire cable serves both as the power supply for the device and as the signal-exchange medium. It has 4 mono / 2 stereo inputs and more outputs than I really need. My guitar is connected to 2 of the inputs in the back (after going through a wide array of Roland/Boss and Lexicon real-time signal processors) and my synth is connected to the other two. It's a breeze to control it with Cakewalk Sonar series (later versions such as 5 or 6) through ASIO interface. Not a big fan of MIDI-style recording, so I do a fair amount of wave-form recording from my Fantom Xa synth through the M-Audio 410. The sound quality is simply amazing. In the ASIO settings page, give the device enough amount of I/O buffer size and you will have no crackles or pops at 24-bit 96kHz (also avoiding dreaded Sonar dropouts). My buffer size is set at 2MB (I have a 4GB desktop with 3.40MHz dual-core CPU). Best $250 I spent lately.

I have owned this for over a year. I never had any driver, conflicts or compatability problems. I use it plugged into a no-brand firewire PCMCIA firewire card that is in the slot of my Dell laptop running XP. Worked right out of the box. Never had any Windows problems or glitchy recordings. I should say, though, that I've never run more than 2-in and 2-out simultaneously. There's also a bug that occassionally causes the assignable rotary knob to stop functioning during playback until I go into the mixer software and reassign it.I use the FW 410 as my day-to-day "sound card" for general computer audio, especially for transferring and sweetening recordings. In addition, on a few occassions I used it as a front end for live concert recording to my laptop. A nice thing about this unit is it takes DC power in, so you can get an after market external battery pack and run it for hours in the field w/o draining your laptop battery or use it without plugging in to AC if your firewire bus does not supply power (4 pin vs. 6, such as if it's over a PCMCIA card, as mine is).The recordings came out nicely. Not state of the art like every manufacturer of lower priced gear claims they give you but does not, but definitely "prosumer" quality and better than you'd get with a portable DAT, especially if you run it at 24 bits and/or 96khz. Noise levels were low enough to remain below the ambient room noise level at a classical chamber recitals. The mic pres did not overload using large diaphram condensors at a small venue rock concert (but there are louder shows and more sensitive mics out there, so YMMV). Maybe the low end could have had a little more "oomp" but at least it is not sloppy.Of note, the output from my older Akai reel to reel deck was too hot for the FW 410's line stage, although it is a home, not studio, deck. I had to buffer the signal to avoid clipping (don't recall if it was analogue or digital clipping). It has had no problem handling newer consumer equipment like line out from MiniDisc.I can understand why someone would give this box a bad review if it didn't work, but it always has for me, and I believe it delivers very good sound quality for the price point and lots of functionality.

i just got this to be able to route audio through something other than on board audio. it works very nice, practically installed drivers/software, plugged it in, and started jammin away.it has many features, and enough of them to keep you busy. The audio sounds super crisp and is delivered very clear.im not much of a reviewer, but in regards to how many firewire audio interfaces are out there to choose from, this one was competing with 4 other units, and I dont regret my choice with it.

Feature:Feature set is also pretty good. Mic preamp has 66db of gain which is exactly what you need for those ribbon mics. Has a pad and twin headphone jacks as well.Quality:Although the physical quality of the product was great, I had problems with the drivers. For a while the 410 recorded fine but then Cubase seemed to loose sync with the box. When I created a new project everything worked fine but then I noticed after saving it a few times the project would make the sound card stop responding. I played with this for a while and just gave up and returned it. Personnally I think that it was just the firewire connection that was flacky and not the card itself. If you are tempted to buy this, make sure you can return it in case your computer's firewire isn't up to the challenge.Value:Feature set is great but the firewire side is just not reliable. I'm sure my problems weren't 100% the 410's fault but M-Audio shouldn't be selling these things if its not willing to support and diagnose problems that arise. I would have been much happier with the product if it had some log file that just said "Firewire card failure" or "IRQ failure". Instead I wasted a lot of time failing to diagnose what was wrong.Desirability:Nice looking product.Sound:I don't have a "pro" setup but as far as i could tell the card sounded great when it worked with my AT3035 mic. No complaints here.Support:They responded to my initial email with a generic "IRQ conflict" answer. I sent them my system information which clearly indicated that the firewire connection was not sharing a connection and I never got a replay after that. They just gave up on me.Overall:Feature set is good. Like I said, I don't know if my problems were specific to this card or firewire in general. However, I tried it on two machines and they both had the same problem. I ended up returning mine and am now waiting for a gina 3d in the mail. The product is great when it works, if you are feeling lucky than give it a go.

It works for a little while, then al the sound goes dead. Reboot. Same thing, might work for a minute or two, then it goes quiet. When on the internet and found a lot of horror stories about trying to run this thing on a mac. Wish I would have done more homework before spending my money. No response from customer service or the retailer (Electronica Direct). I plan to go see the M-Audio people at the Namm show and raise hell.

I like M-Audio but stating this box has 4IN is misleading. You can only use 2 inputs at a time. That should be clearly stated - really lame.

I bought this soundcard and have been wrestling with the drivers non-stop for two months... nothing seems to work. Crackles and a high level of whitenoise in the background.Tech Support responds very courteously and quickly, however, their advice is to reinstall the drivers... Gee who would have thought of that. I've only done that about 100 times... Sometimes the meters on the driver interface are dancing wildly when no sound is going through it... Sometimes when I reinstall the meters behave normally. That's the only thing "fixed" by reinstalling - however the fix is always temporary...I get the impression that the tech support knows that there are some problems with the driver and with the unit. Hot swapping has blown a lot of firewire boards - including mine (replaced it and now I never hotswap).I have had nothing but problems - my ipod's system software is trashed if ever I plug it into the firewire port beside the 410. It took me three times to realize that the problem was the 410 not the iPod. This was just salt in the wound... Solution from Tech support - "don't plug an Ipod OR ANYTHING ELSE into the firewire port if the 410 is plugged in also. But, whatever you do, don't hot swap the 410 or it could blow your board!" Thanks a lot. So I have to shutdown. Unplug the 410, plug in the iPod and restart just to sync my iPod... so much for the convenience of firewire.Tested the 410 in my powerbook in an attempt to isolate the problem... bad idea. Now my once rock solid powerbook doesn't recognize the firewire card and the wireless PC card would not talk to the airport base station. Solution: reset basestation, clean reinstall system software to reinstall drivers for the PC cards (native to OS 10.3). Thanks alot.I have read reports of people having problems with this unit. It only seemed like a fraction. I hoped I wouldn't be one. I am.If I had a G5 that was dedicated to music, I bet I could get this soundcard to work great. But, unfortunately, I have a G4 (maxed out with RAM and the hottest processor I can put in it). And I use it for writing, photos, video, games AND music.For any mac user who is not making a dedicated music work station, I would highly recommend that you steer well clear of the 410 and of M-audio products just to be safe. There are other options out there that don't have the same problems.

I wish that was the title of a new song I had just recorded but it is not. It is the sound that I continue to get, on this week long recording sesion, I was doing. I could not understand what the problem was. Now I have to do it all over again, I am ticked off, and about to go and give an earfull to the folks who sold me this piece.

I got this interface to play live shows with my synthpop group. I've used plenty of other recording interfaces and fixed countless problems with them, but the problems with this interface seem to be unfixable.The audio skips and crackles. Sometimes the unit will stop working in the middle of a performance. I have to restart the computer to fix it.I haven't heard of this problem anywhere else, but mine buzzes loudly every time my laptop accesses the hard drive.It looks like some people don't have problems with this interface, but it's definitely a gamble. This is the only piece of M-Audio equipment I've ever had a problem with.

i have had this unit for 2 years and have never been fully satisfied with its usability. i work with mac and pc laptops and firewire drives in creating video and audio. anything plugged into your firewire ports other than the 410 will cause driver errors. m-audio has known about conflicts with the 410 and using a mac's firewire 800 ports for years and have done nothing to remedy the problem. on the pc the driver will mysteriously punk out in the middle of a session. my experience with customer support was some blather about the "complexity of professional soundcards". save yourself the money and headaches and invest in another unit.

This unit is great. I have had it for 2 hours now and it can:Run Pro Tools *while* running core audio with other audio programs completely simultaneously and without problems.Start from nothing. That means, if I am playing audio through my powerbook's built-in headphone jack and I plug this in, the audio will automatically bounce over to it without interruption. Pretty impressive.People can complain about drivers, but I have never used such an elegant piece of hardware. (note Mac OS X tiger)

m-audio does not have forums on their site. there is a reason. their drivers are unreliable and highly incompatible. absolutely refuse to provide any documentation nor do they accept returns. if you value the stability of your computer, stay clear. stay well clear
