I have a MOTU fastlane USB midi interface that i currently use on a B&W G3 with cubase 4.1 and a Korg 1212. I think the timing is pretty bad for the midi and the 1212card and the G3 seem to conflict so I don't use this setup much beacause of this.
I am looking to purcahse an iBook and upgrade to Cubase SX and use an egosys USB audio interface. Will i get problems with midi timing again using both a USB audio interface and a midi interface at the same time? Has USB midi improved for OSX? Any assistance with this would be most appreciated. |

I have an iBook 600. I run audio software on OS X with plug-ins and use the EdiroL UA-1A for 2 channels of USB audio. I also use an Oxygen USB Midi keyboard at the same time. There are no problems with 2 channels of USB audio and a USB midi interface at the same time on OS X on an iBook 600 at least.
The only thing you might run into is that an iBook 600 is not that good for Cubase plus lots of plugins. A G4 will definiteky allow you to do more. Plus a laptop usually has a slow harddrive. A laptop is a compromise. But for electronic music generation, laptops are fine. For heavy multitrack effects, maybe not optimal. |
