I OWN 3 MACS..... ROLAND 24 BIT VX MIXER..... DM-5 w/pintech pad controllers....
my macs.... (1) G4 933 mhz ..... (1) G3 beige w/G4 chip.... (1) G4 Titanium powerbook All (3) MACS have FIREWIRE... & USB.... (beige has usb/firewire pci card..) WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR A DRUMMER TRYING TO GET BANG FOR THE BUCK.....?????? THESE WERE MY TOP CHOICES.... M-BOX w/ pro tools LE TASCAM US-224 w/ Cubasis M-AUDIO FIREWIRE 410 (soon to be released) EMI- 2/6/M (not sure about this one) I am mainly interested in sending PDIF out from my mixer into my computer for recording or perhaps doing 1 or 2 track multi-track recording..... I dont need anything over the top.... and figured USB might be just fine for my situation.... IS USB OK??? or am I making a bad mistake by leaning towards the M-BOX???? SHOULD I JUMP ON THE FIREWIRE BANDWAGON with the M-AUDIO 410???? Do I really NEED FIREWIRE???? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED |

BC,
I don't know if you're aware; The FW-410 I ordered was $325 at Sam Ash!! That may change a few minds around because, up til last week the lowest price I'd found was $349 at Bayview. The man who sold me the Yamaha AW16G has an M-Box and he loves it but only because he uses a lap top. You'll never mic your drum set on the M-Box! which will only give you 2-in at any one time although I know what you mean about the software. If you lean that way then consider the 001. Then, while you're sittin' on that mountainside rest area, consider climbing on up to the Yamaha AW16G which I just saw someone selling below the $1000 mark! Control-surface 8 inputs to 16 channels; 144 V-Tracks! Separate memory for sample Loop-pads 20GB HD CD-ROM burner More quiet than a mouse! ...and you say your drums are digital? So you don't need mics! Cool! I'm kind of interested in D-Drums! What do you like or don't like about them? Bill -------------------- Bill
