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 !!

Hi Binus,
You're more than welcome. The Echo Mia is a good card - the Echo range has been around for a while - I guess that means they are well liked and respected. It's really hard to guide anyone as to the gear they 'should' buy - we all tend to make a decision and buy gear - then, that's all we know. There are precious few of us that can get to listen to loads of different kit. I wonder how many members of MacMusic actually work in music shops and could give some accurate and objective views on the kit out there - a sort of 'MacMusicians review of gear'. Anyway - good luck with it all Binus - let me (and others) know what you think of the Echo Mia midi. Cheers PT |
