Comments about Echo AudioFire4 FireWire Audio Interface:
I used a GINA card made by Echo for about 10 years without any problems. Recently I had a little problem with Sonar, when I called Sonar they told me the problem was the card. Since Gina has served me well all these years, I purchased a new card made by Echo, I got the Audio Fire 4.
The new card gave me the same problem, I called Echo and left a message, they called back the following day and told me the problem was Sonar, they suggested me to call Sonar and if they couldn't resolve the problem to give them a call back.
I called Sonar they fixed the problem. I had to un-check the GINA Card and not use the ASIO driver.
The quality of the card is great, I never used any other card other then these two so I don't have anything to compare to. With the GINA card I made recordings that get air play. This card is as good if not better. The output for the headphones is louder.
I can afford a more expensive card, but I don't think it would have made any difference for what I do.
I would reccomend this card to anyone.
Comments about Echo AudioFire4 FireWire Audio Interface:
I have use Echo AudioFire products (Audiofire 2 & 4 & 8 Pre), All give you the same quality.You get the best Dynamic range available with 114db and the linear response from 10-20KHz with just +-0.1%db & THD+n: <0.002%; None give you that. This gives you clean, deep, sharp & crystal clear sounds.I search and test many sound cards (M-Audio, NI, Numark, Vestax, Prosonus, ESI Maya 44 & U46, SSL-1 & 3 and others) and none of them have beat Echo AudioFire 4. I use for DJing and believe me, nothing even approach to Echo AudioFire. Just comparable to a CDJ-1000 with a cd on it. Have test it in that way in a big club, outstanding!I also use it to record and have found what I was loosing when I record using another sound card. Really you need to hear it to notice the difference, and you will at first try as I do, I'm sure.I still compare this AudioFire 4 with other friends sound cards, none of them give me the quality I have with it, Echo AudioFire is my 1st choice.
Comments about Echo AudioFire4 FireWire Audio Interface:
Bought mine 6 mos. ago because of numerous good comments from cakewalk forums. I use this just for recording the whole band minus vocals(for editing purpose), 2 channels for drums, 2 channels for bass/lead guitar. I'm planning to buy an Echo Product again.Probably Audiofire 12 sooner.It's just i can't change what to output through headphone.
