So I am am just getting setup with a Mac Mini (M9687LL/B) and want to do a bit of recording. I picked up a Eridol PCR-M1 and a Shure SM58 to record with. Now I am trying to decide what to get for an interface. I have narrowed it down to these two:
PreSonus Firebox or Tascam US-122. I am leaning towards the Firebox, as it seems to have gotten better reviews (plus firewire vs USB1), but it is $100 more and I have heard that the Firebox Mic Pre does not have enough gain to work well with the SM58. Anybody using a setup like this. Seems pretty basic, but I just can't figure out which way to go. Thanks in advace for any suggestions.

I have the presonus firebox, I had the us-122 but sent it back, I didn't like it's inablilty to do multitracking and the fact that it doesnt have it's own powersource. If those things dont matter to you, you might want to consider the us-122, it is a good piece for the price. I paid about $100 more for the firebox and felt it was worth the upgrade.
