Hi,
I am just starting to put together a home studio and am in need of some advice. I currently have a Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz, 512 running Reason 2.0. I am interested in putting together Vocal/Guitar/Piano based music with a simple system that works, I don't have the technical ability to sort out latency/compatability etc. issues! What do I need?...... More memory: Should I upgrade to 1GB? Audio Interface: USB or Firewire (Ua-5, Ua-700 ,Tascam FW1884, RME Hammerfall, MOTU 896 and PreSonus Firestation)) ?? External Hard Drive: Firewire or USB? Sequencer: Go all out on Logic 6 or will Tracktion do the job? Vocals: Is this simply input via the Audio Interface or do I need something else, compressor (MAudio TAMPA)? I am more interested in keeping it simple and having it work without too much fiddling! Thanks |

I have noticed some latency during monitoring, but only acoustic instruments. The issue is easily solved however by simply monitoring the "Playback" on the mbox instead of the source. Once I twisted that knob, there was no noticeable latency in my monitor mix.
I have had zero latency issues with my recordings, but I only record 1-2 tracks at a time. If you need to record more tracks at once maybe a firewire interface, like the Motu or the Digi001 or 002 would be faster. Both are pretty nice, but not as portable. Hope this helps. -------------------- lushbudget productions, ltd.
