I am looking for a little basic information as I am beginning to set up my G4 Powerbook as a portable recording studio. Here are my parameters:

1) I want to record one stereo channel in very high quality. (I will be recording pipe organs in the Netherlands, for possible CD release).

2) I would like to use phantom mics, but am open to debate.

3) I would like to keep my equipment to a minimum so I am as mobile as possible.

4) no audio plug-ins or effects are needed.

I am thinking that I can probably use the installed GarageBand, but I have my doubts about my sound card. Do I need to upgrade? What external hardware do I need besides mics and a stand? (Remember I'm only recording one stereo channel).

Thanks for the help.

The one reason I was interested in a Cardbus solution is low latency. And I mentioned this item because you mentioned you only wanted to record one stereo channel, and the Echo card solves the problem of using the PowerBook's noisy built-in audio. Did you read the reviews? If I could afford it, I'd go with RME's Multiface outboard unit with Cardbus interface. There are lots of USB solutions out there, but from what I understand, latency will always be a problem. Firewire is the better option.

But the UA25 looks like a lot of bang for the buck. Maybe someone will comment on the latency issue.
