Though this is more an Interface Problem, I guess it´s OT. I´m not pretty sure how to handle it. I use the Firepod with a Powersupply. It´s (mainly) fine when recording from Line6 Pod or Neumann TLM103 (directly using FPs Phantompower & Preamps). With a dynamic Mic (Shure SM58) the Signal is more like whispering with the Preamp turned up to 10 and further ;). Plus some days ago I had to stop a Session, cause while recording with the Neumann the Signal went lower and lower til it was down to Zero in the Takes. Rebooting of Logic or Mac OS didn´t help. The Interface was warm but compared to the iBook in the Limits, for my feel. Though I found no way to Eject it like a i.e. FW Harddrive I always run down the iBook first before turning it off. Does anybody have experiences with it and can tell me that the Firepod is guilty ? If so, I bought it for around 800.- € now it´s down to 500.- (arrgh). Is there anything similar (incl. Phantom Power, PreAmps, 8 Ins) around that is better ? Then I may take a different one when bringing it back to the store. Thanx in advance Matzy
