Re: [LAU] M-Audio ProFire 610

Hello,

I had the same worries that you have when I was going to buy an interface
for my linux audio computer, so I may help you.

Let me tell you that the 610 is meant to solve all the problems of the 410
in which it's based and which is mostly incompatible with any system,
including Windows and Mac. And since M-Audio wont release give support for
linux, I would take a chance with that interface.

Firewire interfaces are somewhat difficult to put to work in Linux, but if
you take a look in ffado.rog you'll notice there are some that look very
good that have similar characteristics and of the M-Audio 610:

ECHO Audio Fire 4

Edirol FA-66

Edirol FA-101
http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=702&ParentId=114

Among others. The rest you can find here:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport%2Flist&filter0=&filter1=&op2=OR&filter2[]=perfect

Check Focusrite which they have send to ffado directly so they can test them
for compatibility and also is the company that makes pre-amps for Digidesign
of Pro-tools.

I never tried this interfaces, but I'm sure there are several users that can
tell you about them in the list.

On the other hand, I decided to buy the M-Audio Fast Track Pro an USB
interface that worked out of the box in linux. In my little knowledge, I've
heard that USB audio interfaces work better on linux.

Anything else I can help you just write me.

Saludos from Colombia.
