This review is from: M-Audio Firewire Solo US35030 Firewire Audio Interface (Electronics)

The M-Audio firewire solo is a really great product for music creation and even for sound output to a stereo. installing the drivers can be tricky though unless you download http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FWSolo_UG_EN01.pdf

The PDF explains exaclty what to do.

After I installed everything the M-audio worked flawlessly. I record my own music and also use it for better sound output to my stereo system. The result is clear proffesional recording sound quality.

I recommend it to anyone

This is great for plug and play. It didn't take me long to figure the ins and outs. I found the latency is reduced with the firewire connection compared to USB devices. I haven't used the mic input yet but the 1/4" input for guitar and bass I have and the latency is close to nill. I have also used the S/PDIF in with my 2-channel mixer with turntables and it sounds great. Worth the invesment.

I'm using this on an Apple PowerBook G4 with a 1.33 GHz processor and 768 MB RAM. I mainly record through GarageBand, and after about 10 hours of use, it has worked flawlessly so far.

Controls in front are intuitive. The clip LEDs let you know when your input volumes are maxing out.

Note that you can record only two sources at once: either the front two (mic and line in) or the rear two (two line ins). I initially thought you could record 4 simultaneous tracks with this. There is, however, a switch on the front of the unit that allows you to choose front or rear inputs.

There is an extra firewire plug in the rear of the unit, which allows you to daisy-chain several firewire devices. This works perfectly for me on my 12" PowerBook, which only has one firewire input.

Very low latency on this unit. I can play my electric through GarageBand's multi-effects units while listening on my headphones, and I notice almost zero latency. I'm anxious to try it on my amplifier, to see if it would be suitable for live performance.

I would recommend this for anyone who's thinking about getting into home recording. It's very well designed, well built, and should suit me well for years.

keep webroot firewall on. its better than windows firewall. you can disable it by going to start, control panel, security, windows firewall, and turn off.

Comodo, although robust and very informative (in the nature of details about what exactly seeks connection in or out), actually floods the average home user with excruciating details: and these don’t really give any meaningful insight as to what they are, or what application is being inspected.
Zone Alarm (free) is more of a “middle of the road” firewall: it monitors outbound & inbound, (notifying you of new access permission requests) with less details about the process seeking connection, but can leave you uncertain about what exactly wants in or out, at times.
The Windows on-board FW is anemic and doesn’t notify about outbound requests at all.
It’s all a matter of how educated you are (or want to be) about LAN or WAN data exchanges.

It should be noted that a firewall does NOT stop malware: it only stops unrequested data packets from entering the computer (intrusions), so it’s not a substitute for specific malware defense (like an anti-virus, and so on).

Comodo Firewall is the best choice for users seeking a full featured security suite.

The two have the option to not install their antivirus feature so you can only have the firewall. I highly recommend Comodo as it is better than ZoneAlarm. However, it takes a while to get used to it because it has to learn from your computer habits. But once you have set it up, you can forget that it’s there. It’ll work silently and still protect you. It will only pop up again when you introduce a new application that wants to connect to the internet.

I would say that if you have Windows, you already have one in Windows Firewall.

The inbuilt Windows firewall is a good & easy to use one. If you are looking for other free alternatives, go for the ZoneAlarm Free Firewall. You can get more info. about it at : http://download.cnet.com/ZoneAlarm-Free-Firewall/3000-10435_4-10039884.html?tag=mncol
