I'm wondering which audio interface would be better for my needs. I'd like to record voice and acoustic guitar using two different mics and afterward doing some harmony vocals and perhaps a second guitar track and some bass. The real problem I want to avoid is major latency. Will I have substantially less with the firewire digi 002r than with the mbox. Some users have said that the latency with mbox is not a problem while others have said it is a true annoyance. Just wondering what some of you users of either audio interface have to say. Also, how many audio inputs can the digi 002r take at a time? I know the mbox can only take two, which of course is pretty limited.

What is the difference between using the computer to monitor and direct monitoring?
I'm a bit confused by the distinction. If for example I had an mbox, how would direct monitoring be done? It may also be helpful to know I have a 1 ghz G4 Imac with 768 ram. I assume that this amount of ram would be sufficient for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for all the helpful information and advice. This is really a great place for gathering information before jumping into the game. |
