The M-audio FireWire Solo is a great instrument for singer/songwriters with a budget! I appreciate the sound quality, the ease of installation. The fact that it sounds really well when I am monitoring tracks in Cubase. If you are on a budget or are recording a few selected items, this is a module for you.

It fit my needs exactly. a stereo line in, a mic with phantom power, a guitar in, firewire and balanced outputs. Its really really clean both inputs and outputs, and for other cards inthis price range, the firewire solo is a perfect choice. And since its protools compatible is just icing on the cake.

I'm using this on an Apple PowerBook G4 with a 1.33 GHz processor and 768 MB RAM. I mainly record through GarageBand, and after about 10 hours of use, it has worked flawlessly so far. Controls in front are intuitive. The clip LEDs let you know when your input volumes are maxing out. Note that you can record only two sources at once: either the front two (mic and line in) or the rear two (two line ins). I initially thought you could record 4 simultaneous tracks with this. There is, however, a switch on the front of the unit that allows you to choose front or rear inputs. There is an extra firewire plug in the rear of the unit, which allows you to daisy-chain several firewire devices. This works perfectly for me on my 12" PowerBook, which only has one firewire input. Very low latency on this unit. I can play my electric through GarageBand's multi-effects units while listening on my headphones, and I notice almost zero latency. I'm anxious to try it on my amplifier, to see if it would be suitable for live performance. I would recommend this for anyone who's thinking about getting into home recording. It's very well designed, well built, and should suit me well for years.

This is great for plug and play. It didn't take me long to figure the ins and outs. I found the latency is reduced with the firewire connection compared to USB devices. I haven't used the mic input yet but the 1/4" input for guitar and bass I have and the latency is close to nill. I have also used the S/PDIF in with my 2-channel mixer with turntables and it sounds great. Worth the invesment.

It's really nice quality no doubt. First time recording through firewire and I have to say it's great. A cheap and easy way to get great sounding vocals. You can record two tracks simultaneously which is nice. Can't wait to put this thing to full use.

I like the sound very much. No cracks pops and clicks and my laptop is running faster now. The recording is crisp and clear, especially when you record with a preamp. Apart from that it has guitar and mic inputs. That comes handy but it has no built in preamp, and that seems very strange to me. Oh and I have 4ms latency in Cubase, feels good. I paid $199 for it, if you need a $199 firewire device with mic/guitar/headphones ins - I recommend you taking this baby
