What it can do is free up more CPU cycles for effects. Unfortunately changing to firewire will not improve your latency by itself. No it only acts as an audio interface not a control surface also the eq and effects on the mixer do not translate into the DAW only the preamps go out through the firewire into the computer.Ĥthe onboard effects from what i see (i don't use them) can only use one at a time throgh the effects bussĥ Cubase LE is crap I wouldn't even bother I had trouble right from the bat went to sonar 5 everything worked like Thanks a lot even if you just got this far - I realise that you are not Phonic salespeople! I am quite new to recording, but am an electronic engineer, so feel free to get technical if need be!

If you've used this product maybe you can help:ġ) Can I use this thing as a normal analog mixer? (without connecting to a computer)Ģ) Will switching from my current USB interface to a FireWire interface noticably reduce input latency? I am currently acheiving just under 10ms input latency - specs below.ģ) Does this device act as an interface for DAW programs (as an alternative to keyboard/mouse)? Meaning if you adjust parameters on the mixer, do they appear in the software or is it completely separate?Ĥ) I do not understand how the onboard effects would work? Can you assign different effects to different mixer channels or only use one at a time?ĥ) Can you point me to a list of limitations of the Cubase LE software? (a Google search was surprisingly unhelpful!) Phonic Helix Board 12 FireWire Check this link out However, when shopping for a mixer, I started coming accross mixers that could act as audio interfaces too. Originally, I was just going to buy a cheap mixer and mix the tracks down to the two inputs on my interface to record jams.

I want to record more tracks simultaneously on my system. I just posted a comment about choosing a compressor!)
