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. |

I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my new Swissonic interface, so I'll post my thoughts on it after a month or two of recording with it. As for the emi 2/6, a lot of people have mentioned it (not just here, all over the web) and it does look good. Trouble is, I don't really like Logic all that much, so I was looking for a good third-party product that I could use with every sequencer, not just one closely tied to one sequencer, like the 2/6 or the MBox. For me, Swissonic's USB Studio D seems to fit the bill. Time will tell...
