I have an E-Mu 1820 that is installed in my pc with a PCI card, and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 in my mac that uses a firewire, and I can't tell any difference in speed or quality between them, except that I like the Focusrite mic pres better (though I don't use them for my primary pre, for that I use a Golden Age Pre-73 MK II). I recently installed a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in a friend's laptop. It is a USB unit. It does the job well for her.


You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
