I'm new to the forum, and to recording in general. I really want to get something that I can plug into my flatscreen iMac G4 that will allow me to record vox, guitar/bass, and possibly even drums directly into my computer. I also would like this to come with tools to record/master what I do. I went to Guitar center and asked them, and they suggested the M-audio firewire 410, and a friend of mine suggested to me the Digidesign Mbox. Do you all have any suggestions maybe? I have been looking at these two systems and am worried that the M-audio doesn't come with very a very complete editing/mixing/etc. software, but really like the amount of inputs and the fact that it already has a midi solution. Any thoughts, or other suggestions, PLEASE?!!?

The Tascam has Two Mic/Line XLR, Two Guitar/Line quaters, Two Inserts for external effcects, headphone, and rca out. in the project studio i use it, and mostly to go to record dj sets, vocalists, dubs of guitar or bass. then i come home and dump the files into the mastering studio.
it has limitations like level meter are only one green signal light and one red for overload, but if you watch your apps levels (i use logic and peak audio) you will get a good recording. it has a little latency if you use your laptops hard drive, but if using a firewire 7200rpm drive you will not notice much. unless your use to recording in a multitrack studio with super pro hardware. it is cheap 200 dollars (US) and is bus powered so that is a plus. I use my 12" powerbook with this unit so I did not want to hassel with the driver problems of m-audio 410 with an ext. hdd. hope this helps. cheers and happy recording, jeremy |
