Tim,
I have the Firebox. I previously used the Creative MP3+ USB sound
card and the Creative Audigy 2X, and the Firebox is much better. I
had a hardware problem with the Audigy 2X; the line-in stopped
working, so I had to replace it or else go back to the MP3. It does
have a dual channel preamp which works great. Cubase LE is
included. I have it loaded but am not using it. Check
www.steinberg.com for info about Cubase LE.

I an considering getting the FireBox for some portable operations.
Before making that purchase I wanted to inquire to those who have been
using it and wanted to get some feedback.
Since I haven't seen any posts related to the FireBox and it not working
correctly, I'll assume that is the case.
My question has to do with audio processing. I have always been told
that for the optimal audio chain goes something like this:
Mic->preamp->EQ->compressor/limiter->effects
Now I don't plan on using all that type of processing, but I do like
using an EQ and currently the PowerSDR EQ is currently being re-coded.
Since the FireBox has a preamp for the two XLR inputs and there isn't
anything like an "effects loop", what options would I have for signal
process pre-SDR1K? What would be the cons for EQing a signal before the
preamp?
I see where you can use VST plug-ins for QuBase. Has anyone done this
and what were the results?
