M-Audio Firewire 1814 Customer Review
Feature:
It's got some great features, including two separate headphone mixes, several inputs and outputs, drivers for most systems, etc.
Quality:
I got this used, but it was still in good quality. It's a metal box with cheaper knobs. I don't plan on throwing this thing around, and most of the time it's sitting on my desk.
Value:
I had been looking at getting a digi002, but I just couldn't afford it. I picked this up for half the price of a new one. It's given me everything I need for recording.
Desirability:
I NEED it for my job.
Sound:
The quality is great, but I use an octopre through adat on this machine. It passes the sound through great. :)
Ease of Use:
I had been using a G4 with a digi001 and needed something for my laptop so I could do some live recordings if I needed to. It took me about a month to finally understand how this thing worked. I had my adat setting wrong and I was getting all kinds of clicks and pops. It's fine now though. I should have just listened to the troubleshooting.
Support:
They've got a great FAQ and other troubleshooting help on their website. Sometimes setting everything up can be difficult and they seem to know how to fix it all.
Overall:
It's a good machine. It uses pro tools, which is what I know. I'm not willing to use any other software. For the price and for the features, this thing is the best.

"I love these beasts!!"
Feature:
You want it, its there (so far, for myself anyway)- Barring a couple more pre amps its near spot on.
Quality:
Sturdy construction, Zero problems so far.
Desirability:
Everyone I have shown wants one- that tells me something when these people already have gear of random brands (Digi, Tascam)
Sound:
I have found the FW 1814's sound easily out does my brothers 002- Simply unreal vocal and guitar tracks with the great pre's; My main highlight.
Overall:
Barring the Project I/O, which is only a control surface version of the 1814 (just about) Ill stick with this for a long while id say.
