I have been recording on a tascam 788 digital 8-track for some time now but I have just bought a G3 imac 600mhz w/ 512mb ram and I want to sort it out to replace my 788 . I think I want a firewire audio / midi interface but I dont know which one. Budget is an issue so I was looking at an m-audio audiophile but it only has inputs for phono plugs. I need somthing with jack inputs and preamps. Any suggestions?

If it has to be FW, then (as far as I know) it will have to be the FW 410, since that has preamps and will not therefore accept only line level input (as the FW AP does). I suppose you could add a modest mixer or mic preamp (there's a valve preamp for about £40 which seems neat, if that's your thing) or a cheap mixer.
Alternatively, there's that Behringer beast which should be available shortly:  It's USB 2.0, which I believe is as fast as FW, though (correct me if I'm wrong) FW sends its data in a stream whereas USB is packets. I don't know what diff that makes (but would be interested to know). Anyway, HTHAB. |
