the mac drivers suck though, so you'll see plenty of pc users digging it, and plenty of mac users who sold theirs.

I've got a 15" powerbook, and for some reason when i hook up my Dynaudio monitors to the 410 they aren't nearly as loud as I need them to be.. whats the deal with that? I know its not the monitors cuz they rock on my pc desktop with delta omni i/o.. what can I do about this?

...or get rid of the 410 :wink:

FWIW, I have the 410 on my PC laptop and it works great. The bites for you MAC users because it really is a great interface.

I just got the latest update for the firewire 410(which I've had for along time) it appears it's working better than ever.

osx here.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

Another diss vote here--it is really only a "210"--only two analog ins at once, not many people using the sdpif ins these days. Also, for the money, Alesis Multimix FW mixers are WAY more useful, and the converters and mic pres sound better imho.. And as others have said, virtually worthless on a mac. A "good solution" for the 410 is to send it back ASAP and get way more for your bread by spending $90 more on the Alesis. 10 ins at once, not "4". How many people use the 10 outs on the 410?--for my money and applications, having 10 inputs is infinitely more useful that 10 outputs.

I got a question? I have a MobilePre USB, but I cant figout how to use it for both output & monitoring at the same time for DJing Live 5. So if I cant use the MobilePre USB for DJing can the Firewire 410 do this? I have a PC

Thanks
