I am very interested in purchasing a motu 828 for use with my new ibook 500, but am curious about performance issues.. Will there be limitations compared to a G4 powerbook (such as multitrack use) because of the limited bus speed (66mhz) on the ibook as well as the 4200 Rpm hard drive and 256k on board cache (instead of the powerbooks 1mb on board)..
I know I can compensate somewhat with lots of Ram...but Basically I want to know if its wise to use the motu 828 with an ibook? Thank you for your advice in this matter.. |

Actually, I just saw in my Musician's Friend catalog, that DigiDesign and Foscrite (Sp?) have teamed up and put out a two channel USB devise that has NO latency problems! And I think it runs somewhere around $300 or $400. Looks pretty sweet to me. XLR and 1/4' inputs, monitor outs, headphone outs...etc. And it has Foscrite pre-amps!!! That makes it worth it's weight in gold. Anyways...I forget the name of it...so if anyone finds it on the web, let me know the link.
