Hi everyone, this is my first post, so be nice...
I'm buying a dual 867 G4 for midi programming (Reason) and audio recording (probably Logic, when it comes out for OS X), and I need some advice about audio interface options. I will mostly be recording one or two tracks at a time (guitar/bass/vocals/keys), but will also want to record drums (which obviously requires more tracks). So, I figure I need an interface with 8 or so inputs, 2 of which have good preamps. This way, I can record guitars/vocals whenever I want, and when I want to record drums I can hire a good mixer and mikes and use up to 8 (or so) inputs (without having to pay up front for 8 good preamps, which I will rarely use). So, I need: - 8 audio inputs, 2 with good preamps - 24/96 - MIDI would be good - OS X support - Firewire strikes me as cool, but PCI would also be fine - Not stupidly expensive Any recommendations? I've been thinking about MOTU 828/896, Presonus Firestation, M-Audio Delta 1010-LT, Edirol DA-2496... Most of these have some compromises, are there any others I should be looking at? Anyone have any info on new hardware coming as a result of Apple's Emagic acquisition that I should be waiting for? Thanks! Neilsonite P.S. Sorry this post is a bit long... |

I was about to buy the firestation when I saw on the specs that it is not 96 but 48 KHz
http://www.presonus.com/html/products/firestation.html nobody mentionned the Hammerfall multiface (PCMCIA card and PCI) which has a very good reputation...  Roe (alias Rumbo) |
