Roland Quad Capture-No Reverb

Only the Octa has the reverb (I was going to buy the quad too, but I really wanted the tracking reverb). Anyway, the only other way to track with verb if you don't have an outboard reverb unit is to enable echo input on the track, be sure your latency is set as low as it will go, stick a reverb in the FX bin and track with that.

I did not like using that method which is (one of the reasons) why I decided to spring for the Octa.

I recently bought an Octa-Capture, to replace a dead Saffire Pro 40.  The preamps in the Octa-Capture are on a par with the excellent Saffire pro 40 preamps. I also have a Fastrack Ultra 8R and the preamps in it are not as good as the Octa-Capture or Saffire Pro 40.  After installing the drivers for the unit, it basically "worked out of the box" with Sonar.  I started Sonar and it automatically setup the Octa-Capture as the audio device.

I also had a 30 day trial version of Pro Tools 10 and it was even a snap to get it working with Pro Tools.  I had to "jump over hoops" to get the Saffire Pro 40 working with Pro Tools (the reason I downloaded PT 10 was to check compatibility with non Avid devices).
 
I updated the firmware in the Octa-Capture to the 1.5 version last Friday.  There is reports of problems after the update and I was hesitant to do it.  I had a (paying) recording session Friday so I waited until after the recording session to do it. It appears to be working OK, so far, and I've tracked an accoustic rhythm guitar track and a bass track since upgrading and didn't have any problems.
