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.

QUOTE I'm interested as to why you chose the PCR-M1 as opposed to one of the other small 25key comtrollers from the likes of Evolution or Alesis. MrModern, Not quite sure why I chose the M1, except that it looks preety sleek (low profile). It's under 3 pounds, and I travel a bit for work, so I figured it would be a good option to take with me on trips. The PCR-M30's and 50's, looked cool and got great reviews for their price point, so I figured this was a good option as a simple portable starter. I am not a keyboard player either, so 25 keys don't bother me (much). I would like to get a Korg Kontrol49 or one of the new ReMOTE LE 49, if I really start to get into this more seriously in the future, but I figured this was a good starter that I could still use while traveling in the the future. On the other topic, it sounds like most people would opt for the Powerbox? Nobody has any problems with the SM58 not getting enough oopf from it? Todd |
