I have a g4 powerbook 867 Mhz, 384 mb RAM, running 10.2.8. After some investigation, I've narrowed my choices down to two, for money, quality and reliability: getting an M-Audio Duo and Logic Audio Big Box or getting the Digidesign M-box. (roughly $500 for either) I'm wondering if there's any major differences between the two set-ups (hardware or software advantages, etc.) and also if anyone has any recommendations or warnings for me on my set up in general.
I'll be doing some recording with a mixer probably or just using the 2 inputs for mics, etc. I recognize the limitations of USB but I need good software more than inputs/outputs right now. Maybe I'll upgrade to FireWire sometime. Thanks for your advice! |

I might as well jump on the band wagon...I'm in the same place trying to decide what to get. What about the M-Audio Duo, or the Tascam US-122? Anyone out there played with either?
The Tascam is by far the cheapest, and I've read some good reviews of it. Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on anything besides the Didgi stuff. I've also heard bad stuff about the 410 so I'm staying away from it. VM |
