[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 23167, member: 211"] Re: More StudioLive surprises. :( Everything I've read says the StudioLive works far better with a Mac than it does with a PC. Still, the fact that it's SO picky says a lot about the ruggedness of the software design. In a studio environment, it would be less of a deal if unplugging the computer caused a hiccup. Obviously, if you're recording through the interface, you'd not be unplugging the machine at that time. If it does hiccup, you would just have to do a re-take. Maybe they should have called this a 'studio 16' not 'studioLive 16' However, in a studio environment, I've noticed that this is NOT a very quiet board. With the mains set to unity, it's quite noisy in comparison to my other equipment. Not a problem when running live, but for recording, the noise floor is way higher than I'd want. Haven't compared the noise on the firewire port to know if that's better, but still, the noise level in the studio would be too high for my tastes. My GL2400's are much better in this regard, and they aren't that great either. [/QUOTE]
