I am looking to set up a home studio, and am trying to understand all that's involved. I have started collecting elements slowly and have a Mackie 1202, condenser mic, and Cubase VST. I will using this on a 366 mHz iBook with 196 RAM and 10 gb drive. Yes, I realize I might need a Firewire hard drive at some point. And I'll probably be purchasing a desktop G4 fairly soon. I'll be recording instrumentals (solo, multi-tracking) on guitar, flute and keyboard. I'd like to have the option of including MIDI at some point.
I assume my next puchase needs to be a USB A/D/A converter. I'd like to keep costs around $250-300 (probably by buying used). I've been checking out the Midiman Quattro and the Tascam 428. Am I on the right track regarding what I need to get started? Do these perform similar functions? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Joe S. |

The UA-20 is supposed to be out by the end of August - that may mean mid-September, of course, but it took me nearly six months to finally decide on a USB interface, so surely another month can't be too long to wait!
 Give Edirol a ring and get the latest news - 0845 117 2001 if you're in the UK. If not, check their website (edirol.com). They're always very chatty whenever I've called them with a long list of questions.

Synthetik Id say go for the Quattra, instead of the US428.
