I'm looking into getting a decent firewire DAW interface and I keep coming back to the Mackie Satellite. Has anyone had any experience with it? Or, if anyone has any strong opinions on any other $200 range USB or firewire units I'd be very interested in feedback!
Most of what I've been finding on different sites are the negatives of all kinds of units, but I assume the people that are happy are busy using their stuff instead of complaining...

all i can say is that mine is fine i bought it from the internet new for lees than #100 with carriage and it works with my cubase 4 perfectly allowing me to have either 6x mono outs or 3xsteroe outs which i find adequate i havnt used it for audio in at all so i cant comment its is easy to install and has the most basic straight forward settings software although i can only get it to work at 44khz with cubase 4 hope this is usefull to summerise for just about the cheapest firewire interface on the market it does what it says on the tin nothing more nothing less
all the best dean
