I would have to go digging and figure out which of the projects were done on that. I probably did a lot more mixing at that time than recording. The reasons I got rid of it is I realize I didn’t care for the “analog hype”, as in I wasn’t using a lot of the UAD 1176/LA2a//etc but I did end up

Allow me to clarify what I meant by not worth the money. Didn’t mean they weren’t great sounding interfaces. More What I meant was they weren’t worth the money as in cost. They are more expensive (and also requires you to upgrade to a ProTools HD license) and so I don’t consider them a value

Brian, I think you and I are in agreement here. The main reason I had the Allen & Heath Firewire Mixer was less “analog workflow” and more the fact that it was a one button one function interface that didn’t require me to get into the software for anything. The analog workflow was just icing

Fair points, however Except in the cases of the high end interfaces (Antelope & RME) USB latency isn’t as low as TB. Granted anything under 10ms may not be noticeable but USB still has the CPU hit that FW & TB doesn’t. Also FW ports are disappearing so you will need a dongle or a doc to use

Hi Nate, As a quick note, firewire and usb aren't as restrictive as thunderbolt marketing hype might suggest, for example the Allem and Heath interface card in my console does 32 in and 32 out over firewire 400 with no problem, RME and antilope also get huge results with usb based interfaces.
