Hi all

I'm thinking of straddling the dark side and was wondering if anyone has any
experience with the M-Audio Profire Lightbridge, i.e. quality of converters,
build, ease of use especially with that program

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...ghtbridge.html


thanks in advance

Don

Hi Don,

I've had several m-audio pieces, and they've all been great.

With the lightbridge, I'm assuming you would really only need to be
concerned with the d/a converters, since you would be using other a/d,
going to lightpipe.

You are also limited with pt m-powered to 18 i/o, if that matters.

Cheers,

TC

I got excited until I noticed no ADAT sync capabilities. Doh.

I'm using the Project Mix I/o with M-Powered Pro Tools, and it works great
(make sure you get the right firewire card).

You can get past the 18 I/O limitation with the addition of the Music
Production Toolkit:

You still will not have ADC for plugins though (which is the biggest
knock against LE/M-powered).

Here's the solution for the ADC issue.

http://www.mellowmuse.com/ATA.html

Which brings up another point...

I'm wondering if we could convince mellowmuse to do a vst version of
this for Paris..

Cheers,

TC

Seems it does but it's buried in the FAQ section...I'm downloading the
manuals just to be sure

Hi Kerry,

I have the Pro-Fire Light bridge and it's great!! Converters sounds really
good. It also has a stereo outs and a headphone out for monitoring via analog.
I use it for both my laptop and in the main studio adat linked to a Alesis
HD24..which is hardwired to our 56 channel Soundcraft Ghost.

I love M-Audio audio units. They just work and they make reaally reliable
drivers..
