Hello,
I have just bought a g4 powerbook with the intent of setting up a mobile studio. I will be using it mainly to multitrack live instruments, at least that has priority over MIDI input (i eventually will use midi). I couldn't imagine needing more than 2 simultaneous inputs. I was hoping to hear from anyone who has experience with an interface with these general specs. Like the m-audio duo, audiophile, or premobile Edirol ua3d, ua5, ua20 the emagic ones or the mbox etc..... I would really like to be able to work completely in OS X. also, I haven't bought any software yet -- so I am hoping to find a hardware-software match that will work right from the get-go! Please let me know if you have a setup that you are happy with -- or not! thanks for any input ben This post has been edited by benjones: Thu 27 Mar 2003, 00:41 |

From the edirol site:
"Driver available on the MacOS X install CD." The drivers for the UA-3D are there…  (I don't say they work, make breakfast and read the newspaper for you, but you have an idea where they are…  Now can someone tell me WHY IF THEY EXIST ARE THEY NOT ON THE EDIROL SITE! Damn!  Now in interfaces: -M-audio has a record, but it's a bit early to really tell on the OSX drivers -Edirol stuff: a few FW thing cool to come, worth looking at. -Emagic/MOTU no problem (still need some feedback on MOTU midi interfaces drivers are brand new) but both are reliable companies. -Digi Mbox cool little thing, but you step into the 4 walled world of Digidesign and it can't be used at the moment by any third party software (and seem to stay that way) I'd say choose first if you want both Midi and audio in the same box or not it'll clear the matter fast. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
