Anyone got any suggestions on the best USB audio interface to use? I'd like to hear other people's opinions on the various options - Edirol UA-5, Midiman's Quattro and Duo, Tascam US428, Roland U8 and anything I might have missed. How about the MBox? Anyone tried that yet?
Basically, I need a USB audio solution for my iBook and I want to hopefully get it right first time! Thanks for your help. |

About the Quattro there are other threads (in french maybe) about it… It doesn't seem to be positive… hum. The least that can be said.
The digidesign is excellent but as everything with digidesign it has its idiosyncrasies (check for threads). To be fair, it's not the quality of the interface, but how to use it outside PT… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
