What is the best Audio interface to purchase to record at least 8 tracks simultaneously with Garage Band and an 1.8 Imac G5? Lexicon looks Good? Any others? What are you all using?

I use a MOTU 828 mkII, but not with garage band. I was not aware that garage band could record more than 1 track at a time.

don't buy motu.
Go with RME multiface.
you have to trust me.
It's so solid tight.

i agree on the RME, sock solid, top quality. I have the RME multiface and i get zero latency monitoring, 1,5 ms when playing back vst's on my old pentiumIII, no noise !!!

As for the motu i have no opinion

kaboombachuck is correct: GarageBand only allows you to record on one track at a time.

Which audio interface? MOTU, obviously, since it took RME nearly three years to get their Mac drivers written correctly. And I've heard some horror stories about less-than-enthusiastic Mac support...
