Hi you all,
I am considering upgrading from a G4 to G5 (which one is to be discussed later...), so my Audiomedia III will be have to be dropped except if I choose a G5 1.8.... My questions are, at this time: 1/ which card do you think is the best (rapidity, least latency, sound quality). Within a reasonable price range (200 to 300 $) for a home studio. 2/ generally speaking, are PCI-X cards still better rated than FW ones ? (FW would free us from the problem of slots being changed these times... and probably more often in the future...). I had a look at some cards like Echo Mia-midi, M-Audio 410 too but I could not try them and I think there are some others worth looking at... Thanks for your posts !!

Yo binus,
Welcome to the nightmare... It's not a simple question and there's no simple answer - it depends what you want to do. There are quite a number of Firewire kits out there that would do the job. PCI cards are still fine - although M-Audio get a lot of criticism on this site - I've always used their cards and they're fine. (um... with some caveats). I recently went from a G4 733MHz to a G5 2.5x2 - and chose an M-Audio 1010LT. Card works fine. Best to make a list of requirements - and your budget - and make choices from there. Don't kick yourself if you make a mistake - it's all a learning curve. Don't forget to look at Terratec, M-Audio, M-Box etc etc etc. Good hunting. PT |
