My wife bought me an M-Audio Firewire 410 4-in/10-out FireWire Mobile Recording Interface. I don't know shit about recording but want to start laying down riffs and shit on top of rhythms I've come up with. Anybody know anything about this model? She got it from Guitar Center and we're going there today to see if there's anything I'd rather have in the same price range (she didn't know shit when she was picking it out either, but based on what I wanted to do, this is what the salesman led her to).
Keep in mind, it was a Christmas gift, so please don't bash it. :-)
Thanks.

So you're saying if I get that version of ProTools I will not have issues with MediaCenter and everything will work fine? It says right on the M-Audio website that they're not compatible, do you know of some fix? If so, can you send me any links explaining? Thanks for the info.
Can you find the webpage with the information you found, so we can see what they're saying? Post a link.
It appears to be a driver problem and it doesn't look fixable. Here's a link from the M-Audio website.

Here's a link from another website that says ProTools is not compatible either.

I love the fact that you can just keep adding layers and layers and layers. I'll start with a rhythm progression I made up, try to freestyle some simple acoustic riffs on another take over that, then plug the electric in and go for some meatier riffs here and there, then add another layer of the tambourine, then another of the mandolin, then another of two pieces of 2X4 being knocked together, you get the point, it's a fucking blast.
Anybody have any experience with the M-Audio? What about the Live software? I'm wondering if I should even try to learn any of the enhancement capabilities or if I should just play around with recording and focus on my own abilities to change chords better and hit notes more accurately and timely (which is much easier to tell when you're able to record) and what not; then when I'm ready to start "producing" and making beats etc. I'll upgrade to ProTools, any thoughts?
If you are serious about recording i would step up to M-Powered Pro tools 7.x . it is well worth the 200 bucks. I've used pro tools alot, and for an LE version
(which reallyhas alot more than nessecary still) $200 is a steal. Also, alot more people can help you out with tips (magazines, websites, and even people on here) and alot of plugin's from alot of different companies are compatible with AVID (digidesign/m audio/midiman parent company), so beefing up yoru studio will be no problem, either with effects, or more gear. A small mixer wouldn't be a bad idea either to route all the sound.
