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. |

How about the sound quality? Happy with the results? Don't suppose you've tried it with any other sequencers, have you? Although as Logic seems to have occasional problems with non-Emagic gear, judging from various reviews I've read, and yet you've got the Swissonic happily working with Logic, it'll probably work fine with everything.
I also like the idea of it being a rack, as I have space in my 5-unit mini-rack and that would save on desk space. Plus it would mean that everything that needs connecting is together in one place. I'm moving towards the Swissonic now. |
