Having finally invested in Logic Pro 7, and familiarising myself with its capabilities, I'm wondering if anyone has used a Boss BR1600CD as an interface, and if so, what is the best (and cheapest) way to connect it to a Powerbook G4.
Rather than investing in another device (ie Edirol FA-101), I'm hoping that I can utilise all the XLR and RCA inputs of the BR1600CD to capture into Logic Pro 7. The BR1600CD can transfer MIDI to my laptop, but I actually want to capture real instruments into Logic Pro 7 and be able to monitor them in the same way as an FA-101 would allow for instance. It is possible to transfer tracks one at a time over USB (after recording), but this method appears to be slower than continental drift, and doesn't allow for 'live' monitoring. In the hope that a visual helps, Boss BR1600CD Am I merely postponing an inevitable purchase of more equipment? Or is there someone who can help by recommending a solution? Thanks in advance for your help.

Exactly what kind of digital out put is it? is it coaxial(RCA) or optical? You didn't say what Mac you have, some of the newer models have optical I/O. SPDIF is a stereo format, that means soloing each track and recording one at a time.
Much quicker to burn the files to cd.
