Hello!
I've got PTFree, Logic 4.8.1 installed on my imac OS 9.2.2. Concerning MIDI, my DX7 is connected to the imac via the Midiman Uno 1*1 (Midi Interface). I've connected the sound output of the DX7 to the mic input of the imac via an adapter but when I record/play a midi track on any of my sequencers, there's just NO SOUND going out of my imac! Actually, the only possibility to hear this sound is to listen to the DX7 via the headphones or to connect the sound output of the DX7 to my stereo! It seems like I need an audio interface since my imac is not expensive enough to provide me with good staff (the internal speakers are worse than any ones on PCs....let's switch!!!).... Which one would you recommend me? How is the delta 44 from midiman ? Finally, as a beginner , I'm wondering what else should I get before beeing able to RECORD MUSIC?! thanx ! |

I've tried several Edirol interfaces and have been happy with all of them - UA-20, UA-5, UA-700, they're all good. I've settled on the UA-700 because you get Midi and the pretty cool guitar amp/mic modelling sections. I'm using the 0.9 beta driver for OS X, working in Logic 5.3.0 running Mac OS 10.1.5. No complaints so far.
As for M-Audio (as Midiman are now known), I've not tried any of their interfaces. All I know is that there have been an awful lot of complaints about them in these forums this year, which kind of put me off. Their products look good on paper and they might have sorted any problems out by now, of course, so all you can do is try one. What's the worst that can happen?
