Hi folks,
I have switched from a pc to a mac for recording music. I have a dual 866 G4. I have two issues. How do I get my audio into the mac? Previously, I used a sound card (M Audio Audiophile 24/96) with a pair of stereo RCA ins and outs that went to my mixing board's stereo ins and outs. This sound card won't fit into my mac. For now I just need to get the stereo mix from my mixing board to the computer and be able to get whatever's been recorded back out to my mixer. On the MIDI end, I used a MOTU interface (Micro Express). The issue here is that the interface uses parallel ports or serial ports to connect to a computer and the mac G4 has USB ports. Is there an adapter or a cable that can make the connection for me. I know these are basic questions, but I appreciate your help. |

Depends on how many inputs you need
Presonus is something I use I recommend the firebox, very simple firewire interface with great "pres". Musician's friend has it for $299, but quite honestly I would go, for $100.00 more the FirePod, has more inputs. If it's just you and you don't see expanding your need for inputs the firebox is great. I think you will like recording with your Mac! AF |
