I have a MOTU fastlane USB midi interface that i currently use on a B&W G3 with cubase 4.1 and a Korg 1212. I think the timing is pretty bad for the midi and the 1212card and the G3 seem to conflict so I don't use this setup much beacause of this.
I am looking to purcahse an iBook and upgrade to Cubase SX and use an egosys USB audio interface. Will i get problems with midi timing again using both a USB audio interface and a midi interface at the same time? Has USB midi improved for OSX? Any assistance with this would be most appreciated. |

Well, there are many reasons why I wouldn't come within a million miles of a Windows machine, but it's your choice. However, the problem of the USB bandwidth being too narrow for audio multitracking will remain whatever platform you go with.
Yes, the faster USB2 is a feature on new Windows machines, but it's not really any faster than FireWire and there aren't a whole lot of USB2 audio devices on the market yet anyway. I don't think switching to Windows will help. The iBooks are powerful enough to do a decent amount of audio and Midi recording, but if you actually want to put out professional release-quality audio multitrack recordings, it probably won't be powerful enough. |
