ok, so I just got a G5 and I would like to record music on it. I'd like to be able to plug my electric in as well as mics. I was looking at the mbox package that is powered by protools. it looked pretty nice and convenient, but I dont really know anything about recording yet. Does anyone have any recomendations for a nice setup to record on a mac for under 5 or 6 hundred bucks?

here's a page with a review of the tascam122 http://www.macmusic.org/agora/forums/?act=...t=8008&lang=EN&
the mbox being a protools card might actually be a feature since then you can run it with pt LE or pt Free or whatever and not have to spend more money on a seq app like Logic, Cubase, or Digital Performer. sadly, you probably shouldn't buy anything just yet. i'm not the most knowledgeable hw person, but seeing as how the pci-x thing has set many companies back in terms of mac compatibility _and the move to panther (which starts next week) will mean more driver rewrites all around- usb and firewire devices included-- even emagic drivers (the audio company that was bought by apple) are breaking under panther. i think the smartest thing to do might be to get a little $50 behringer mixer from zzounds.com and just use your mic input on the G5 for a few months. by that time it'll be a clearer landscape as far as hw/sw compatibility with the G5 and you'll be able to see what all fits your needs and your budget. the folks at audiomidi.com are friendly and helpful. you can look at what they offer that's osx compatible and then just call them and talk with a hw specialist for a half hour about pros and cons. i bought a midi controller from them a while back but not before i asked them about a hundred questions about all sorts of stuff. good luck! -------------------- Kit: Dual Ghz G4, Vaio 2.6ghz GRV670 notebook.
