Hello everybody,
I just bought one of the new 800MHz iBooks (my first Mac) and I´m planning to buy a FIREWIRE Audio Interface that operates under OS X. Is there anybody who could recommend a specific product and/or help me with my decision ? This is what I want to get accomplished with my new "toy": As a jazz-piano player I´d like to record rehearsals and demos with small ensembles and burn them on CD - I think that 8 audio input channels should be enough for this task. (?) E.g. bass 1, piano 2, voc 1, sax 1, drums 3 channels. I don´t expect true professional quality - I simply want to get things done/check things out on my own instead of depending on booking a studio all the time. My budget allows for approximately 900$ / 900 EUROs. Until now I took a look at the - MOTU 828 and the - M-Audio Delta 1010 MOTU828s two XLR jacks look pretty good to me, because I like to do things with as few technical stuff as possible... Looks to me like you could even just plug in two mics without any adaptors to record a piano/voice duo. Am I seriously mislead about that ??? OK - pretty long post I´m looking forward to your experiences/suggestions. snuupy |

hi snuupy,
you're right. the 828 will amplify(mic pre's) 2 mic sources and provides 6 more line inputs.  in my experience, for the money, you should get one... which sequencer are you using? -------------------- one for all and all for one...
