One and all: Give your suggestions for a good quality, affordable interface for the beginners of the world.
I'm new to comuter based music production and I plan to run Logic Express 7 on a new iBook w/ 768mb of Ram. I need recommendations on audio interfaces with at least two input channels, including a good mic input as vocals will be a priority, hopefully under $500. This set up is to be used for demo song/sellable cd production; the focus however is to produce usable tracks for later studio additions. All suggestions are apreciated. Thank you.

not sure i agree - i have an mbox and take it from me, its a dog of an interface
 - not terribly good for anything except running Pro Tools if you absolutely have to in my opinion. The Firebox is a much nicer piece of hardware with more features, but it cant run pro tools. But I perfer Logic anyway.Both interfaces make a small CPU hit. I think the Firebox's is less, but you dont ever notice it with the Mbox because it does not even let you set it to low latencies. Firewire is better than USB generally for audio - its stream based instead of packet based. Ok gotta run! -------------------- -Arvid •• Squish the Squid Productions, Modest Machine
