Well a rookie needs help...I've bought (well actually I'll propably get it this week) a 12" PowerBook and now I'm looking for a sequecer and a audio/midi interface.

I'm mainly interested in Logic and I was looking for a A62m with it but now I ran into a M-Audio firewire 410. So are there any experiences about using FireWire410 with OSX and Logic6?

thanks for your advice!

I don't have any experience with the 410, so I'll simply note that there have been a few dissatisfied customers knocking about the web. Seems like the general vibe is "it's a great idea, but it's not super-reliable". Which is par for the course with M-Audio gear.

FireWire is the sweetest route for audio devices, but I think you really have to get to the MOTU 828 before you actually get something solid and reliable - and for that, you pay a hefty price.

My advice, you being a newbie and all, would be to find your feet with a USB device like the Emagic one and look to expand to something more imposing as your needs demand. For use with Logic, I'd recommend using Emagic USB hardware.

Enjoy.
