Tascam Fw1884 Firewire Controller Price
this one product has become the "center" of my studio , inputs are super clean as an interface for all my audio needs , and i even use the lightpipe IN from a korg168rc mixer - so that i can actually get 16-20 separate items recorded all at the same and keep them separated and pristine sounding - unit has 4in and 4out midi interfaces , i use 2 of them. i use this with the included cubase LE and now cubase 4 , LE was great to work with and mix with - but only allowed for 4in's recorded at a time - i use the transport controls more than i use a mouse now - and the motorized fades are a wow factor , if i make a few level and pan automations - the faders move so smooth and almost too perfect - i reccomend - only wish the FE8 additional fader packs came down in price
