cmon name some guys. please lol

[stonee]

price range?

really, they're all about the same. I use a motu ultralite, and would highly recommend it.

personally, for running large amounts of channels simultaniously, I would try and stick with firewire.

does the digi 003 work with ableton?

I can recommend the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40.
It's on the lower edge of your price range, the drivers work great (at least on OS X), the pre-amps and converters sound just as good as those on the RME Fireface 400 as far as I can tell, and it has enough Inputs for all your gear.

Of course it does. And what you should get heavily depends on what you need and what you want to do with it. The M-Audio is well above your price range if I'm not mistaken, but it has faders and controls for your DAW.
I'd prefer the Focusrite over the Presonus in terms of pre-amp and converter sound, the Saffire also has more pre-amps than the MOTU, while the MOTU has built-in FX and a higher sample rate.

so the focusrite over the motu and presonus? im thinking about the digi003 and m -audio cause im debating on getting a lemur which i most likely get.

I've used a MOTU 828 MKII for years and it's still better than most interfaces out there. The latency I get from it is ridiculously low. Also the quality of the A/D converters is amazing. If I had the money I'd go for an Apogee instead though, but that's a HUGE increase which I'm not able to afford specially with such a great interface at the moment

The Focusrite and M-Audio Profire preamps are better than the Presonus and Digi ones IMO.

[domkane]

For that price range, I'd say the M-Audio ProFire is a good choice. I actually really like the Octane Pre-amps.

I would recommend for you the echo audiofire 8 or focusrite saffire pro 40.

There you get many I/Os.

Echo has a bit better AD/DA and very good drivers for all OS.
