Hey guys,
I'm glad to see a forum dedicated to music-making on the Mac. It kinda feels, well, like home. But that banner reloading every 10 seconds is annoying-- I'm going to have to use iCab more often, I guess  .Anyway, I'm thinking of buying the US-428 or the new M-Audio Quattro interface for my G4 tower (and possibly future TiPB). Are there any owners of any USB audio interfaces (including Roland U8, etc.) that can give me an idea of the overall value of these devices-- like how consistently they work, how good they sound, etc., compared to PCI interfaces? Thanks, guys. Dallas Vaughan ------------------- www.dallasvaughan.com |

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I am indeed going to go with the MOTU 828, because there seems to be some issues with USB audio at this point (so I've heard), and firewire seems like it would be a heck of a lot more stable. Plus, the 828 comes with Audiodesk software, which is basically the same as Digital Performer without MIDI control and not as many tracks, and I can upgrade to Digital Performer for $300 or $400 if I need it.
Now I just need to save some money! Dallas |
