Something Like FirePod, But Smaller (Cheaper)?

[Groover]

My band just purchased a Presonus Firepod and Cubase 4 to use in our home-made studio.

I'd like to install Cubase LE on my home computer, and use something like a FirePod so I can just record some stuff when I'm at home, and then if it's good, take the files and use them in Cubase 4 at out practice location (where the Firepod and Cubase 4 computer is).

Is there something like the Firepod, but very simple with maybe 1 or 2 inputs that I can use for home? (and that will of course cost a lot less than the Firepod)

Recommendations?

Presonus Firebox. I've been using one for a little over a year, works great.

Perfect! Both those look like exactly what I'm looking for. And I like the fact that they are both the same manufacturer as the FirePod, so I don't have to relearn a bunch of new stuff.

I'm assuming both those I can just plug my bass in and play? (don't need a line-out from amp).

Thanks for the quick replies!

I don't know about the Inspire, but the firebox does have instrument level inputs, so you could go straight from your bass. It also has line inputs if you want to go DI from your amp.

apogee just came out with its new 2 channel interface. Its a 2 channel version of their ensemble. I remeber it being pretty reasonably priced also. It may be mac only though.
