I have an ibook os X and need the firewire interface for a hard drive. It's only me recording one thing at a time so don't need a lot of inputs going at once.

Can any recommend a single interface box that includes the following:

xlr with phantom power
instrument input for guitar and keyboards
midi input

If you can recommend something that you use that has all these features and works well. . .thanks!

Lexicon Omega has these features plus the famous Lexicon reverb package. It's working well for me so far.

I bought the M-Audio Mobile Pre...

Nice box...sometimes a bit of conflict between Core-audio and the driver. Especially when I switch between apps. But def. woth its money.

My box came with adapted versions of Ableton Live 4 and Reason 2.5.

[edit]Oops sorry has no midi input[/edit]

FireWire interfaces like Focusrite's Saffire, PreSonus' FireBox and MOTU's 828 have two firewire sockets, so you can chain your hard drive from one of these interfaces. That's precisely why such a feature exists on these products. More expensive than USB alternatives, mind, but also much more suitable for tracking audio.
