Ive been creating music for a few months now using Ableton Live 1.5, Reason 2.0 and an Oxygen 8 controller. Im using a G4/450 cube, which some of you may already know has no PCI slots so i cant add an audio card. So, I've been looking for a USB or Firewire device so that i can accept signals from my turntables and other devices as well as send a signal to my stereo receiver which accepts RCA connectors so that i can monitor on something that sounds better than my macs speakers.....
anyway... can anyone recommend any devices to solve this sort of thing? Ive looked at a couple of the eMagic boxes but im wondering if theres anything less expensive... |

I don't know about less expensive, but I've got a thing for Edirol products - the UA-5, UA-20 and UA-700 would serve you well. I can't remember what the UA-20 has, but the UA-5 is positively bristling with inputs/outputs. Every digital and analogue jack you could ever need, plus it handles phono, too. The UA-700 does exactly the same, plus it has onboard guitar amp and mic modelling sections.
I like them all a lot and they have OS X drivers, too, which have been working well for me for the past few months. No complaints this end.  Oh, these are all USB devices, BTW. For FireWire, people speak highly of the MOTU 828/868. This post has been edited by rickenbacker: Tue 14 Jan 2003, 11:36 |
