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 |

the way i see it - the less hardware the better, so i'd be more inclined to get a firewire rather than having a mixer & a pci card.
i've been looking at the echo firewire "audiofire 8" or the edirol 66... i think the edirol would be better for me cause it has rca plug ins (for my dj mixer) plus enough inputs for a guitar/bass/mic... like i said, since i'm on my own i just need one at a time.. as far as selling my gear... i'm not too worried about the echo since afterall, it is almost 3 years old, and like i said, i got the mixer for cheap, so i can sell it for cheap too.. anyone with firewire advice? |
