Members geek_usa Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm looking at getting one of these two because I like how clean the pres are. The deal is, I could get the FirePOD for around $100 less than the FireSTUDIO. I don't really see much of a difference other than JETPll and that other abbreviated feature. Is the Firepod good for recording semi-professionally? I'm working on a new CD. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IceBryce Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 I use a firepod and yes you can get great results www.myspace.com/freshstylesmusic that was all done on the firepod. aswell as most of this www.myspace.com/kaminproject If you working solo I would go firepod if you recording bands get the studio so you can do the fancy routing. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzball Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Will you be using this for solo work, or for your band? If you will be recordign your band I would go with the studio, if just solo you could get away with the POD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alndln2 Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 what's the major diference? Mainly the FirePod has lightpipe i/o and FireStudio doesn't. I installed the FireStudio for a freind on a Gateway PC which luckily had a TI FW chipset built in and he runs it with Sonar with no driver issues.

Members albiedamned Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 The FirePod is an older model. The FireStudio replaced the FirePod. I've never used either and I don't know the technical differences, but I would assume the FireStudio is somehow improved over the FirePod in preamps and converters. Mainly the FirePod has lightpipe i/o and FireStudio doesn't. Depends which model. The FireStudio Project doesn't have Lightpipe (ADAT), but the regular FireStudio does.

Members ricknaqvi Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 The main differences are these: The Firestudio Project has improved analog to digital converters, better metering as well as an internal power supply. It also features a digital mixing application that allows you to create custom headphone mixes for different musicians and route those out of the analog inputs. You can do up to four stereo mixes. You can also daisy chain up to four Projects together for a 32 channel system. The FP10 has the same inputs and outputs, however only does one mono mix for monitoring. It has a max of three that you can daisy chain for 24 inputs. Here's a chart that shows all of the specs and differences: http://presonus.com/media/pdf/interface_comparison.pdf Hope this helps.
