I have been using the Roland Edirol FA-66 primarily with my Macbook Pro on the OSX operating system with Logic Pro for over three years now.
It has been perfect for me because I am often mobile and on the road it has been robust and I have had no problems at all using this.
I love the solid metal case construction the build quality has proved the test of time. The Fa-66 has FireWire bus power. It has Zero-Latency Direct Monitoring which means that I can listen to audio being recorded directly without using any other software. The Direct Monitoring function allows the input to go straight to the output for zero-latency monitoring. The FA-66 also offers ultra low latency when monitoring through software or performing with software synths through the Apple CoreAudio driver.
The Roland Edirol FA-66 has always been reliable and offered excellent audio .
FireWire Connection Perfect For Mobile Use.
It’s great because whilst using this mobile it can be powered by connecting one FireWire (6-pin to 6-pin) cable to my laptop. There is also an option to ower the unit with an AC adaptor if need be.
Built-in Analog Limiter
The FA-66 has a built in Analogue Limiter preventing clipping in recordings. To get high-quality live recordings with a wide dynamic range.
