Sound Card On G5 1.8dp, Sound Card Advice Options

smpte/sync..

are you doing video. what do you need to sync with smpte?

if you are recording audio you don't need smpte. are you using an ADAT?

i am confused?

can you not sync with midi?

if you need a midi controller they are usb mostly now days. if you have many outboard midi gear you would want to get a midi time piece 4x4 or 8x8.

these devices cost over the 200 dollar original post.
don't confuse the original poster with features that he is not needing. he mentioned nothing about smpte/syncing. why lead him on with features that he does not need. sure those are cool things, but not needed to run Live.
if you were using an ADAT or working in a TV studio then maybe you need to get some device that does syncing with smpte.

i am only trying to give he/she valid choices for the cost that was projected without letting my personal opinion of features cloud there decision and further keep them from contiuing to work.

Sure, you're right. I was just thinking about myself...

SMPTE - yeah, I want to sync with video. Besides my Logic stuff I mostly do vide stuff - it'd come handy if I'd have SMPTE option.
I'm thinking about Motu Traveler - I don't wanna spend more than that - but I'm waiting for the reviews, responses...
