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

Hey DigitMus:
Which USB audio interfaces do you have? What quality and reliability problems you are experiencing? I have an iMac, so the VX pocket is not an option for me. I just got started using the Girvin iMic, and before that I was just using sound manager (with PT Free, and now DP3.02). I only need 2 analog ins and outs, so I was hoping something like the M-Audio Audiosport Duo, or the Edirol UA-5 would be an affordable upgrade from the iMic. The SoundDevices USBPre probably has much nicer pres, but it's more than twice the price, so if data transmission over USB is the limiting factor, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Am I still going to get clicks and pops with one of these fancy USB interfaces? |
