reading all these scary reviews on the m-audio firewire solo, i've successfully been scared off. i dont want something that will result in excessive tweaking/OS downgrades/firewire port destruction to possibly work. the price seemed good but i am now put off.
my setup: powerbook g4 1.5ghz with 1.25 gigs of RAM. i just need a basic interface so that i can track live bass lines into garageband and in the future, logic express. i am not a professional musician... just want to pursue a hobby. so - if you are in a similar situation and you have an interface that worked as it should have on the first try, i would love to hear your suggestions. price is always a factor but i would rather buy something that works, of course. thanks in advance. |

QUOTE (Wilko @ Feb 20 2006, 00:24) The firepod has 2 universal inputs for mic/instruments, and the gain controllers right on the front of it, which is more convienient in my opinion that going through a software mixer as on the inspire. The original MOTU 828 also fits this description. Might be able to pick up a used one cheap. -------------------- Dave Cornutt
