i think once the new Tiger comes out i'll upgrade my G4 867 (sp) to a G5, probably, by that time the dual 2.0 will be the low-end (for the duals). My current set-up consists of the old Echo Mia (not miamidi, not PCI-X) & a Mackie 1402 analogue mixer. I don't need all the channels with my mixer, I really just bought cause it was a great deal (since i record solo, i only really need one or two inputs at a time).
So... Echo will trade me the new EchoMiaMidi for my card + $100USD... in your opinion, would it be worth it to try and sell my Mackie & Mia & put the $$ towards a firewire, or go ahead witht the upgrade... or get the dual 1.8 (reg PCI slots)???? not a big dilemma by any means, but would appreciate some input nonetheless... thanks, d |

Drop the "old" PCI, it's "dead". PCI-x is the future for the next years so don't compromise. Now Does the FW interface has anything to call on you more than the PCI card? If yes or no…
Beside this having a set up which can avoid an unnecessary mixer would be great. Have you thoroughly checked all the options in PCI (and you sell your current Echo and the mixer)? Also, in FW which interface would you be looking after? -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
