Alright so I just ordered my iMac, 20-inch, 2GHz Intel Core Duo with Logic Express installed.

I'm leaning towards the MOTU ultrilite as my interface because I've read good things and it was recommended. I also like the number of inputs which will serve my needs just fine since I'll be tracking each instrument. I'm also looking at M-AUDIO Firewire 1814, but not sure if I need all the inputs. Any thoughts on these two or any other interfaces that I should check out.

appreciate it.

Honestly, at this price point, your biggest concern should be driver stability. All of the mid-price interfaces have about the same quality converters and pres. MOTU is great for stability, so that'd be my choice.

Yes, the MOTU stuff has a very good rep, you almost never hear about problems with their drivers etc. I got a second hand 828 mark 1 for a song, and it works great with logic. Have heard and read of problems with m-audio, also with cubase on the Mac. Logic and motu seem to have far fewer problems reported.
Cheers Minskybabs.

What's the difference between Logic and Logic Express?


A comparison can be found here...

I really appreciate all the feedback. I'm going to go with the MOTU Ultralite.

thanks again and I will post an update once I get things set up in the event others are considering the same configuration.
