#Alesis io26 review drivers

Everything worked with no effort at all I have to admit I never used the 2nd FW port, though.

#Alesis io26 review drivers

Most importantly though, I never had ANY functional problems either with the drivers (Mac user here) or with the hardware itself. Sincerely, I have to disagree with the tone of the preview already posted.Д®ven though I agree that the preamps could be better, I never had problems I couldn't surpass with a little treatment. I recently used the io26 for several small projects, as well as for handling my home setup. I highly recommend you stay away from this interface unless you want your recording life to be a living headache. I would have pops and clicks get them sort then I'd have a hardware fault for example the interface wouldn't link firewire unless the phantom was on and random led lights would stay on in the metering which seemed to be quite a common fault. It has 2 firewire ports for daisy chaining say a hdd but i imagine that would cause all sorts of problems. The main problem with this interface is Alesis hardly ever update the drivers, and literally the smallest thing will stop it from working even on a mac. The to headphone amps are just about average same as the pre's really. It has adat ins but no adats out which is a bit annoying really. The preamps on this thing aren't to bad they don't distorted in any particularly nasty way but they do ad a kind of mistiness over your sounds. I originally had to send my back as it developed a hardware fault luckily I didn't have to deal with Alesis just and they have fantastic cusomer service. On paper it seems like it has excellent bang for buck considering its features but getting to work properly is a nightmare and if you take a look around on the internet you'll find endless stories of people struggle with it.

I had the io26 for a while when it first came out as a portable interface.
