I recently bought a refurbished quicksilver dual 800 and was shocked when I found that there was NO LINE IN! I'm still sort of new to apple computers, I switched about a year and a half ago and bought an ibook, so I'm a bit at a loss. One of the reasons for the upgrade was so that I could finally begin to record and produce my music. I'm having a hard time finding mac-compatible sound cards online. Please point a young and confussed newbie in the right direction.
ps. software sugestions are welcomed as well, I've been putzing around in ProTools a bit but rather not run classic |

It's Me vs Rysode in the Recommendation Battle For The Best Beginner Mac Interfaces! We always seem to crop up answering the same question...
Anyway, my two cents is that I prefer Edirol products and heartily recommend either a UA-5 or something similar from their product line. They've got every single audio connection you could ever need - 2 line in, guitar/mic, digital coax AND optical, RCA phono jacks. Some of them also have Midi I/O. They all have OS X drivers, too. Otherwise, plenty of sound cards are available for Macs, too, particularly as you've got a G4 tower. Have a scout around some of the previous posts along these lines, or maybe start a new thread in the hardware forum - ask which card people recommend. You'll soon get plenty of answers. |
