Having finally invested in Logic Pro 7, and familiarising myself with its capabilities, I'm wondering if anyone has used a Boss BR1600CD as an interface, and if so, what is the best (and cheapest) way to connect it to a Powerbook G4.

Rather than investing in another device (ie Edirol FA-101), I'm hoping that I can utilise all the XLR and RCA inputs of the BR1600CD to capture into Logic Pro 7.

The BR1600CD can transfer MIDI to my laptop, but I actually want to capture real instruments into Logic Pro 7 and be able to monitor them in the same way as an FA-101 would allow for instance.

It is possible to transfer tracks one at a time over USB (after recording), but this method appears to be slower than continental drift, and doesn't allow for 'live' monitoring. In the hope that a visual helps, Boss BR1600CD

Am I merely postponing an inevitable purchase of more equipment? Or is there someone who can help by recommending a solution?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Gene,

I appreciate your suggestion there. It is certainly possible to export tracks using the CD-R function on the BR1600CD - and it is a function I will use if I can't find a way to cable the two together.

I guess I'm hoping that it's possible to output the sound from the BR1600CD in such a way as to be able to record it in the laptop, and monitor through the laptop's output. This may not be possible of course - but I thought it was worth sussing out with the tech gurus here.

Thanks maestro254, for your suggestion - while I am sure the MOTU is a great piece of gear, I was hoping to ascertain whether I could use the equipment I have already, instead of forking out more moulah.
