[Audio Interface] NI Audio 8 vs M-Audio ProFire 610
Hey guys,
I’m going to buy my VCI - 100 in about a week and I was wondering which of the Audio Interfaces is better for the usage in clubs.
I have no idea of Interfaces so I was hoping to find some help here. Thanks!
Sorry for my bad english. I’m from Germany 
I use the Audio8 all the time and it works great. 
I’m about to order an audio card myself (holding out for potential Black Friday discounts), and it looks like I’ll be getting an Audio 8 based on the number of recommendations from this community.
Yeah I was just wondering because, for example, the ProFire has 24bit/192khz and the Audio 8 “only” 24bit/96khz. Is there a big difference in sound?
Are there any other Firewire Interfaces that you’d recommend?
My budget ist around 350€ ( 445$ )
Keep in mind that the Audio8 is a USB2.0 interface.
All I can say is that I can EQ my rig to sound better than the CD decks at the club I spin at. But, then again, I EQ those too, so I might be subconsciously trying to make myself sound better
So okay, due to the fact that the Audio 8 is a USB 2.0 based Interface does the ProFire have a better latency?
We had this discussion a while ago on the General Discussion board, but the consensus was that if you’re just pushing sound of of your laptop (as you would when you are mixing internally), then a USB sound card will provide virtually the same performance as a FireWire one.
Okay! Thanks for your help guys

If you don’t mind.. I would also STRONGLY recommend the Motu Ultralite. I personally believe that it sounds better than the Audio8, but if you plan on using scratch.. then you need the Audio8.
