I just bought Cubase SX for Mac OS X. Haven't even received it yet, so my perceptions aren't colored.
SO my question is: how am I gonna get sound into my Mac? I don't need anything as powerful or expensive as the MOTU 828. Something like the Edirol UA-5 would be perfect - if it works. I've been reading horror stories about incompatibility with Cubase SX (with the old beta drivers for Edirol). I gather the M-Audio DUO is even worse. And I'd use the mBox but . . . no OSX drivers. So: recommendations. Should I get a PCI card? Is USB gonna work since I'm starting fresh? Thanks a million. Jeff |

Loveme1965: you might already have figured this out, but the UA-5 (like a lot of similarly specced interfaces) can't simultaneously play and record at 96khz. I don't know if there's a workaround - I'd guess not. I've not looked into it too closely, as I tend to record everything at 16 or 24-bit, 44.1khz.
The whole 96khz claim is the kind of thing marketing types think looks great to boast on the box, like those ludicrously inflated scanner resolutions you see sometimes. They're not actually lying, but the truth has been stretched a little! |
