Rock solid, good sound quality

I have used several Echo products and they have always been rock solid and great value for the money. The audiofire12 is no exception. I wish Echo was a larger company and could afford to advertise because there products just work. I think a big reason there prodcuts sell is by word of mouth. I have used several AF4's and AF8's and recently started using the AF12 to replace some of those other ones because I needed even more I/O. It is perfect for line level work where you don't need preamps or other features. In fact I love that the analog audio doesn't pass through cheap preamps before the ADC's. It has been rock solid on Windows XP and Vista with low latency. The front panel metering is very simple and even from far away it is easy to see which I/O's are active.

If you need 12x12 channels and want to utilize the power of the linux DAW tools, I highly recommend this unit. It worked for me out of the box. I'm recording 12 mics simultaneously with real time effects using Ardour. The sound quality is spectacular. Within a couple hours I was had professional sounding recordings without breaking a sweat!

Perfect for Ableton Live!

This thing is perfect for Live users. It enables us to have our 3 guitars, 2 synths (4 channels), vocals, all plugged in and processed though the puter. We can then take stereo feeds of voice, guitar, bass, synth, and drums to the sound tech at venues so he can mix. It's perfect for a live band using Live. No latency or disconnect issues.

Solid 12 channel interface

I bought this unit to replace my Lexicon Omega. I have had no problem recording 10 simultaneous tracks into Sonar 7 PE at 24bit/48kHz. Very low noise and low latency. The built in software mixer allows numerous headphone mixes. I actually use a Behringer MX3242X mixer's direct outs to feed it. I use it to record my band "Yasno" rehearsals. The only problem I have had is the output audio sometimes registers on the meters, but no sound is on the jacks. I have to close and restart Sonar.

i actually down graded from a rme multiface and was surprised at how much better this unit sounds compared to the rme i needed more ins and outs and this baby can record all 12 channels at once with no problem, im going to ad another unit in the near future, if you already have a MIXER and need lots of ins and outs nothing beats this and the sound is grade a i dont think it gets any better.
