G'day all,
I am in need of a 2 Chanel firewire audio card for my Powerbook and Imac G5 (OS x / (Tiger) . I am using FCP as well as SoundTrack. I was looking at the products from M-Audio (firewire solo and the firewire 410) but it seems that people are having a lot of problems with them. Please can someone recommend alternative products. I have am looking at the Presonus FIREBOX and also the Apogee Mini ME ($$$$$ way too expensive) and the Tascam US-122 . What are you Tiger users using? I am basically trying to get a mic connected to do voiceovers for my movie projects so I need a nice XLR input via firewire, nothing too fancy but I don't want to fry my firewire ports or have shitty sound. Cheers R |

You should check out the Edirol FA-66. I know you are after a two channel but this offers 6 in (two good XLR mic pre's, too). The convertors are good, the driver is stable, it's bus powered and the chassis is metal instead of plastic (great if you are traveling with your PB).
Another alternative is the Focusrite Saffire. Excellent mic pre's, good driver, some custom plug's (compressors, etc), a software mixer and good convertors. I have used both extensively and have never had a problem. |
