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'd prefer Cubase SX (or SL) and Reason 2.0. I have both SX and Live 2.0 and I much prefer recording in SX. Live is cool, but SX is more suited to multitracking. Both work with ReWire, anyway. Nothing wrong with the Oxygen 8, but have you looked at their Ozone? Same keyboard as the Oxygen, but an audio interface, too. True mobile recording. Don't know about sound quality, but maybe have a look all the same. |
