I have a g4 powerbook 867 Mhz, 384 mb RAM, running 10.2.8. After some investigation, I've narrowed my choices down to two, for money, quality and reliability: getting an M-Audio Duo and Logic Audio Big Box or getting the Digidesign M-box. (roughly $500 for either) I'm wondering if there's any major differences between the two set-ups (hardware or software advantages, etc.) and also if anyone has any recommendations or warnings for me on my set up in general.
I'll be doing some recording with a mixer probably or just using the 2 inputs for mics, etc. I recognize the limitations of USB but I need good software more than inputs/outputs right now. Maybe I'll upgrade to FireWire sometime. Thanks for your advice! |

Hmm.. the OmniStudio USB has been something I've been eyeing.. The only thing that I did want to see is it operating on bus power, but I guess you want to power it externally if you're on USB. How's the latency when you use software monitoring (i.e. not using the direct monitor)? What I seem to hear is that for software monitoring, the emagic usb interfaces has the best latency... too bad they seem to be unstable without the optional power adaptor and that they come with cinch plugs.. they should have been at least decent enough to put in trs 1/4" plugs..
