I have been recording on a tascam 788 digital 8-track for some time now but I have just bought a G3 imac 600mhz w/ 512mb ram and I want to sort it out to replace my 788 . I think I want a firewire audio / midi interface but I dont know which one. Budget is an issue so I was looking at an m-audio audiophile but it only has inputs for phono plugs. I need somthing with jack inputs and preamps. Any suggestions?

QUOTE (td3k @ Mar 23 2004, 23:27) I know Digidesign gear is pricey, but isn't that the same thing PC users say to us about our Macs? The Digi gear IS killer. In the past, it might have been true to say that Macs are more expensive. But these days, Macs exist in all price categories from really cheap to expensive powerhouses. My beef with Digi gear is that you gotta use Pro Tools LE to get the full functionality of the gear. Just my 2 cents Scott |
