hi. I have a powerbook G4 and am looking to record voice and guitar onto Pro Tools Free. I have been reading your posts about audiosport quattro and other devices. i was wondering if anyone could compare Emagic Emi 2/6 with M-Audio USB Duo? is the Duo even on the market anymore? I heard that there were problems... Also is it possible to get perfect time recording with USB? i know firewire is much better but is the sound quality really that noticable if the mics are good? also can someone explain the benefit of having a midi port? if you wanted to use sound effects or a keyboard couldnt you mic it in okay? and also does anyone with a laptop have a delta series m-audio device? ok thats it thanks if you can anwers any of these... love rachel

My advice would be to forget USB for audio and get the VX pocket for your cardbus slot. Much better quality (especially on the analog side of the A/D converters) and about the same $$ as one of the better USB boxes. This is just from research and word of mouth, I don't own the VX device, but I do have several USB audio devices - the quality and reliability just aren't there . I mean, think about it do you want to share your paltry 1.5MB/sec bandwidth between bi-directional multichannel audio, input devices, storage devices, webcams, etc.? There are too many drivers that want the USB buss's attention, even if you're not using them. Just keeping a reliable 44.1 or 48khz audio clock going on this buss is hard enough.
