Audio Interface /Soundcard

Hey everyone:
 
Time for an upgrade! I have been running 32 bit Sonar forever. Currently on X1... I have a new PC on the way that is obviously 64 bit... tons of ram and a nice processor. I currently use the Sonar Power Studio 2 in 2 out 24 bit unit and am looking to upgrade. I was looking at the NI Komplete Audio 6 unit and would really like to hear your thoughts about what you are using and what you recommend? I do not have firewire on the new system so Presonus is probably not an option. I really appreciate this forum and your thoughts!
 
Thanks and have a great one!

What are you willing to spend on a new audio interface?

Some to check out are below:

-Roland Octa-capture/Quad-Capture

-MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybird

-M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

The next audio interface I get will be: 

-RME Fireface 800

-Avid MBox Pro

I had planned to get the RME Fireface 800, but I just found out about the MBox Pro and I read and watched good reviews for it, and it sounds impressive, but at a considerable lower price than other high-end units.

Take the MBox listening challenge: http://apps.avid.com/mbox-challenge/

Roland Octa-capture/Quad-Capture

firewire is dead I'd not buy any interface with it anymore.

I have a MOTU 828 MK II and two Roland Octa-Captures. I can highly recommend the Roland units. I have no buzzing issues although that only has been reported for Hi-Z inputs. I only use mine for keyboards. My MOTU was a good unit but I love that I could strap the two Octa-Captures together for 16 channels in ASIO mode. The drivers are very solid and very fast.
I put together a thread in this forum about configuring the Octa-Captures which might be helpful. I am sure if you search for Octa-Capture it will come up. You can avoid a lot of potential issues if you read it. I am very good at making mistakes ;-)

I have been using the Alesis Multimix Firewire 16 for several years. Once I got it set up (some things I needed to figure out - learning curve), i have been in love with it. it's a mixer and a sound card in one. they make the same thing now but in a USB 2 version, which is the way i'd go if i were to buy one now. i like to use it to record jam sessions, and it allows me to simultaneously record 12 instruments at a time (8 mono, 4 stereo) as well as the main mix. very handy. very nice. latency is good, and sound quality is also quite good. one knock on this unit is that the fire wire sends the signal to the computer "pre eq" for individual channel recording, which seems a waste of good eq if you ask me. most of the recording i do, however, is one track at a time, so i record the Main Mix out, and could take advantage of the eq that way (moot point, though, since i do most eq'ing after i record anyway). anyhow, those are my two cents. feel to to contact me with more questions if you like. cheers
