I just acquired an iBook, (500, 256mb, etc) and I'm now trying to decide on a solution of what to buy for audio recording. I already have a quite capable PC (sorry) which I use as a home studio machine, and I've been contemplating getting an Echo Layla for quite a while to use with it. Obviously, the layla will not interface with the iBook.
Does anyone know if the Motu 828 is as good with a windows PC as it is with a mac? If it is decent, I will probably get the Motu instead and use it with both computers...
Also, will the iBook I have be enough for recording 5 or 6 tracks simultaneously?
I hope to use the iBook for mostly live recording, as my band plays a lot of shows and it would be fun to release a live cd, or be able to go over to a friends house and record several tracks with just the iBook, motu, and a few mics. Anybody have a similar setup?
Thanks,
a recent convert
