Record 26 Tracks With The M-audio Profire 2626?

Home | Computers-and-Technology | Hardware

The 2626 in the name can be a bit misleading yes, you can record 26 channels but you won't be able to use the DSP on-board mixer while doing so. It all depends on what sampling rate you set it to, 88.2 or 96 kHz you'll get 12 tracks and up to 18 tracks at lower sampling rates.

If you really needed all 26 tracks you could do so by using your own mixer in tandem with the Profire's DSP mixer. The 2626 is good for on the road and also on your rack at home.

The M-Audio Profire is both PC and Mac compatable. I've heard some bad reviews from users complaining about M-Audio drivers not getting along with certain computer systems since 2010 most of the problems have been addressed by M-Audio and getting the updates from their site will ensure you get the most up to date drivers for your system.

Most important features:

Quality mic pre-amps

On-board Mixer/router

All technical stuff aside, the important thing is the great overall sound quality. The Profire 2626 is equipped with premium A/D-D/A converters (audio to digital, digital to audio) and this is where the real quality comes from.

Works just fine as a stand-alone audio preamp and connects into 8 outputs of your ADAT or whatever. Then use the line,instrument/mic ins (with pre-amps) with any other piece of digital equipment.

My favorite thing about the M-Audio Profire 2626 is the on-board DSP mixer/router. You can create as many as 8 stereo mixes and be able to call them up later.

You can route 52 audio streams and send them to 26 hardware outputs and with the mixer you can select any of the 26 hardware inputs and 26 software returns as sources for any of it's 18 input channels.

Also love the microphone preamps on the 8 channels which will record at a resolution of 24-bit/192kHz.

If you're not on a bit of a budget you can certainly get a better audio interface than this one but at it's price of around $600 it's about the best bang for the buck. Compare it's price (around $700 retail but you can do better) and it's features and you'll see it can be tough to beat.
