Digi Or Motu, audio interfaces for snow leopart , logic pro and macbookpro Options

[canoleguer]

hello!
im new here and would like get opinions about the audio interfaces in market

firewire 800? there are only 2. It's ok wth fw400?

64 bits front 24 or 32, its necessary?

the mics pream are important? i am thinking that it would be better have a good preams and then an audio interface with several imputs.

i want to record a large piano (in stereo), acoustic bassand drums

also to compose with samples and keys wth midi /or usb.

thanks a lot for your ideas?

pd: some one speak spanish is better for me

- All Apple computers right now are 64 bits. It only affect the way they handle data and accessible memory. it's different from the way the audio engine in software works audio and the bits/sample rate of audio files. If you're more precise maybe I'll can explain more.

- Mic pre on interfaces are usually decent, but not much more. You can get a better choice from using separated pre you plug in the interface.
