>compression, reverb, American Tweed, Metal Stack and some other choice phrases
Don't repeat that to the CIA… >I could only find information on this UA700 USB thing on Roland's japanese site 8 hours to have this piece of knowledge boys! The only things I found are (to be constructive) http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/may02/article...ankfurtnews.htm (article upon Frankfurt Musiksmesse) http://www.users.surfaid.org/~robinv/hardware4.htm (private page upon audio interfaces for laptops) It seems that the UA700 was only an announcement for now… 'Aujourd'hui peut-être, ou alors demain' (maybe today, or tomorrow then) -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Thanks for the links - I'm going to read the 'recording with a laptop advice' pages more closely now. No mention of Swissonic, though - does nobody else know anything about their products? I'll know the answer to that myself soon enough - yesterday I ordered one of their USB Studio Ds. It looks like it will do everything I need and is excellent value, so I'm hoping for good things from it.

Swissonic as far as I know make good converters, but it's not a hands on experience…
In fact, the firewire interface builders are in the same ligue of reputation… rather good. But it's better to find victims who could tell us their endured tortures  Catch them and question them! Now!

has anyone mentioned the emagic 2|6. It's nice and simple, not too expensive, though not cheap either ( i payed 400 USD). Doesn't require a power supply. Mine has worked fine and generally gives no trouble.

I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my new Swissonic interface, so I'll post my thoughts on it after a month or two of recording with it. As for the emi 2/6, a lot of people have mentioned it (not just here, all over the web) and it does look good. Trouble is, I don't really like Logic all that much, so I was looking for a good third-party product that I could use with every sequencer, not just one closely tied to one sequencer, like the 2/6 or the MBox. For me, Swissonic's USB Studio D seems to fit the bill. Time will tell...

I have the Quattro & it works fine...drivers can be downloaded right from the website...it does get hot, but it is small & is very portable...

what about Edirol UA-5 and Yamaha UW500? Edirol is reviewed on www.sospubs.co.uk and has good marks - it looks like a decent machine, without MIDI though. And Yamaha€s interface which has MIDI and synth in there is mentioned nowhere except their own web site, of course. any ideas? Does anyone even saw Yamaha€s UW500 on sale online?
I think as soon as I get iBook 600 I will order Edirol UA-5 and get a USB Keyboard for playing VST instruments in Logic and I don€t need MIDI then at all. |

IMHO the mbox is excellent, convenient and reliable...
one of the best choices! -------------------- David K.
