I'm looking for an inexpensive audio and midi interface to input into garage band.
I've heard compatibility issues with M-Audio's entry level products.
I'd prefer firewire, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I'm Running Tiger 10.3.9 on a G4powerbook and need to record Guitar, Vocals and a drum machine.
Thanks
Lee

Using a Tascam US-122 via USB into GB on a Mini w/ 1.25GHz G4 and 1GB RAM. No worries here...

A few guys have troubles with the US-122, so until it's cleared I'd be on the safe side. We really don't know if it's their fault or the tascam.

The inspire looks really cute (drooling) and Presonus makes serious stuff. Good converters, clean serious preamps, good drivers on the other hardware they produce. As it's totally new we don't have hands on experience, but a little bit on the confident side smile.gif

yeah, those inspires are so little and cheap that if they turn out to be as good as my firebox is quality and stability-wise, they would be pretty hot, especially the modular idea...

Thing look sorta ugly compared with the firebox smile.gif , sorta like a bad hard-drive enclosure... though they did imitate the trademark presonus aesthetic on the mixer GUI which is very pretty.

(by the way, my firebox just served me fantastically at yet another performance last night, running a complex MaxMSP patch and sending MIDI to another powerbook to do the realtime reactive video)

you'll need an extra set of pre-amps for analog ins 3 and 4 though. You can mix and send to the PA with zero latency (using the firebox mixer app), or run some of the signals through software for any effects (introducing a little latency for that channel). But u can mix the wet signal of an effect with the original zero latency dry signal using the mixer software.

hello for sure firewire is better but it s more expensive you can trust in new m audio stuff they works well allowed you to work on a serious soft PRO Tools but if you really want firewire you can buy the digi oo2 you will get pro tools le and many plug ins
For the keyboards and other it depend of what kind of music you do
best regards
