Ive been creating music for a few months now using Ableton Live 1.5, Reason 2.0 and an Oxygen 8 controller. Im using a G4/450 cube, which some of you may already know has no PCI slots so i cant add an audio card. So, I've been looking for a USB or Firewire device so that i can accept signals from my turntables and other devices as well as send a signal to my stereo receiver which accepts RCA connectors so that i can monitor on something that sounds better than my macs speakers.....
anyway... can anyone recommend any devices to solve this sort of thing? Ive looked at a couple of the eMagic boxes but im wondering if theres anything less expensive... |

If you're not planning on importing any live music at all at this point, perhaps don't bother with Cubase (or anything else) for now - Reason alone would do fine for background/meditation tracks, with all its synths etc. You could then add a sequencer at a later date when you want to expand your recording set-up.
As long as you have a decent Midi keyboard or Midi interface, you can get a lot out of Reason. You can also incorporate audio samples using the NNXT/NN19 samplers. Slightly off the subject, but there's also a new ReFill (basically lots of extra sounds) for Reason just released by www.lapjockey.com/flatpack - a whole lot of extra vintage synths and drum machines to expand Reason's range. They sound nice. Ryosode: you must have seen M-Audio's latest brochure! People recording in subway stations and bars with an Ozone and a PowerBook - it does look tempting...
