Which Audio Card ? Dual G4, Osx, Tascam Tm-d1000 Options

[makingmusic4him]

I am moving from Windows to MAC (sounds of applause in the back ground).
Have a dual G4, OSX.

No audio cards yet, just 'out of the box' machine.

Have various midi instruments.
Have TASCAM TD-M1000 that can respond to remote midi commands.

Ultimate goal would be to have DP4 or Logic 6 (I currently have Reason 2.5) working with the Tascam mixer, so that midi, live sound and samples can all be mixed together with OS X based DAW.

Any idea on what would be a good PCi audio card for this ?
DP4 or Logic or what ??

Thanks for any ideas,
Bill

I started by using Emagic's EMI 6|2 interface (came with the package deal I bought) But it was VERY limited, and questionable audio quality.

What is meant by "VERY limited".
Is it just an issue of number of inputs/outputs or is there more behind this claim?
This issue is very crucial to me as I don't need that many inputs and I'm seriously looking at the EMI 6|2m.

Also, what does it mean "questionable audio quality"? What exactly is wrong or bad with the 6|2's audio quality?


Thanks!
