Re: Recording Rig

From experience with other interfaces I've discovered despite USB 2.0's slightly higher bandwidth there is more of an audio latency....besides firewire allows daisy chaining of devices....

The latency issue was explained to me in college by a professor...he told me that typically you have more devices, printers, mouse, keyboard.....and so on on the USB bus and nothing on the firewire system also firewire has a more efficient communication protocol.....

and if USB 2.0 is so good why are there interfaces with 8+ individual channels for simultaneous recording and USB 2.0 is limited to two or 4?

Quick answer > > > I like the Idea of sometime down the road buying another Inspire and daisy chaining it for more inputs as well as better latency...
