Hi there!
i was just about to buy me the m-audio audiophile usb interface when a local apple dealer told me that the compatibility between a macintosh and any interface except for emagic stuff is null! is that true? the real problem here is that the emagic 6/2 interface costs a hundred bucks more than the audiophile interface! does anybody have experiences, good or bad? how about this story,does he just want to sell emagic stuff, or is it true? |

I was simply stating that I've not seen many (if any) complaints about Emagic hardware, whereas disgruntled M-Audio owners seem to crop up everywhere. Of course, that may be because M-Audio products are generally cheaper, so more people own them. Draw your own conclusions about that, too.
If I was being real sarcastic (oh, go on, then - what the heck) looking in the Cubase forums for people complaining about Emagic gear is a bit like looking in a Mac forum for people whinging about Microsoft. Hmm, Steinberg and Emagic, two of the world's biggest music technology companies and rivals, whose hardware products don't work flawlessly with the other's software. Quelle suprise! But I agree with Birdfeeder's sensible purchase policy. Can't beat hands-on, real-world experience to tell if a product is right for you or not. |
