Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum. I just bought my first Mac ever....a dual G5, 2.7 Ghz, 2.5 GBRAM,and 20" monitor... I have Logic Express 7 and MOTU 4.5 from a friend but Serial Box does not give me a valid reg.no. for DP4.5 Has anyone got smthg for it? Questions: 1. What MIDI interface works best with Logic/DP 4.5 ? MOTU USB Express/or Emagic/Steinberg? (8x8) 2. What audio interface should I get? HD896? or RME Hammerfall? Are there cheaper ones as good? 3. What soft is there for sample editing (similar to SForge /Wavelab) in Mac OSX? 4. Do you think DP 4.5 is better for MIDI work than Logic ? I heard so... Any comments would be much appreciated D |

I have a MOTU 828 MKII which does more than enough for my needs. If I could choose again I'd buy a Focusrite Saffire interface as the Pre-Amps are (probably) a lot better and I use mostly plug-in instruments and have no need for the 22 inputs the 828 provides me.
DP is supported well in the U.S. but over here in Europe we're more Logic orientated. The Logic 7.1 bundle is awsome and IMO cannot be beaten at the moment. From songwriting/mixing/mastering you are completely covered for a semi-pro audio basis. Those Pro-Tools guys will harp on about their better audio but those laurels they rest on are starting to singe a bit from the heat that Apple are turning on. If you have a large set of outboard instruments then the 896 would be perfect for you. If you are a softsynth guy (Your computer is the most able in the World right now to do this) then save yourself a bit of money and keep the input count low, with a Mackie Spike or Focusrite Saffire. Good Luck -------------------- ________________--==:: Watch The Skies ::==--________________
