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... |

Which iMac model do you have? Do you have a newer (looks like an over designed lamp) model or one of the original (more like a lopsided egg)? If you have an iMac DV or later, you have access to both FireWire and USB ports and the UA-700 would work quite well for you. Also, the MOTU 828, or 896 with FireWire would work. The M-Audio Duo is USB and would work in the application you are referencing.
Cheers, Dekon. -------------------- |
