I have been scoping things out for a while, and have been close to going with the tascam us-122 because it has software to ge me up and going on the cheep before I start throughing down lots of money.
Being a hobbyist home musician I was also drawn towards the emagic 6/2 but being married with a child can't get to the extra $500 for software. Now I find the Lexicon Omega Studio which looks like it would be great! Muliple ins (8 devided into 4 pairs (whatever that means)) software for the mac and PC and zero latency and spdif in and out. What more could one ask for? Well, a review. Has anyone seen this, used it or heard of it? What about bais? The French are talking about it in mac music, but I can't get much beyond the 'oui' (God love 'em, some one has to keep us sane) I'll be getting a 1.25 ghz mac laptop soon, so that would be the main use for it.

How about the Emagic Gold Production Kit? That bundles one of their USB hardware interfaces with the Logic software itself, plus a few other niceties, I think. Or try the Logic Audio Big Box - Logic software and a few soft synths - then buy a separate cheaper interface (like the Tascam US-122 or Edirol UA-5) to get you started.

Rick,
Thanks, though I might just try that in reverse; that is I might buy the 122 then if I need more software I'll step up to the Logic. I kinkd of have to proove I need it to the wife. So far logic sounds to be the best / most compatible with the mac, for users who wish to dabble in midi as well as audio recording and track editing. And I do like the multiple ins of the emagic 6/2. hmm. I'll just keep looking 'till I spend spend spend. |
