Panther And Audio Dillema, Software/hardware compatibiity Options

[zemote.com]

Which MOTU (preferably) audio interface is compatible with ProTools 6 and Digital Performer 4 in Panther 10.3.3?
I have an AudioMedia III card but Panther and ProTools don't recognize it, so I have to make a change.
Besides, I have another HD with MacOS 9 and a SampleCell II card.
Will I have to get rid of both (AudioMedia and SampleCell) or is there any possible way to work with both OSs? Or maybe I should go back to Jaguar and keep both? Will it work?
There is a money issue also. Not enough...Only have money to buy a not so expensive audio interface.
Please reply.
Thanks,
zemote

I am a huge MOTU fan and user and former Apple employee.

You could do dual boot, OS X and OS 9, believe me, this is no longer necessary, OS 10.3 is very mature now and great for audio, there is no reason to be on 9.22 doing audio, it's kind of silly actually. Once you get a teaste of pro audio (or video) as I was doing at Apple Final Cut Pro on OS X, OS 9 seems silly, because 10x rarely crashes.

Ask yourself the question do you want to do technical support on 2 os's on two versions of DP and all your audio apps.

The answer is to migrate to OS 10, Panther 10.3, DP 4 and PT 6 are OS X only so that answers your question, you should move to OS 10.3 for all of your audio.

I have had several MOTU interfaces and swear by them, currently I have a 828 MKII that I got from sweetwater for 795.00

If you want to spend less, look at M-Audio Firewire inteface, the one with 2 mic pre's on it and it does 96-192 Khz, 24 bit, I think this is 499.00

So the 828 MKII is only 300.00 bucks more.

You can also consider (although I wouldn't perosnally) a Digi mBox bor $450.00, but you can ONLY use Pro Tools software not DP and that's why I don't like it. Also this interface is USB (1.) I believe, not that fast.

for me it's the MOTU 828 mkII or M-Audio FireWire 410

if you wish to correspond some more, I'd be happy tlak with you.
email me.
