Just to point otu the Pre G4 macs (especially beige ) Had built in Audio I/O
Only 16 bit 44.1 K stereo, and not amazing quality either, but sufficient for cash strapped muso to get going with....... So all you need is the software........ You will only need to spend money if you want to seriously upgrade from there. At that point it depndes on what your needs are as to what card would be recommended..... if you only need 2 I/O then the Audiophile 24/96 is a good reference point to start looking from...... The field is enormous, , there is a table of audio cards (in french at present) posted on the site, although old and a little out dated, is still quite handy as long as your basic french is okay.... It is in the process of being updated into english, but wont be available for a little while yet. and will be out of date almost faster than it can be re written, thanks to the industries fast rate of change.... -------------------- max woz ere
