Anyone got any suggestions on the best USB audio interface to use? I'd like to hear other people's opinions on the various options - Edirol UA-5, Midiman's Quattro and Duo, Tascam US428, Roland U8 and anything I might have missed. How about the MBox? Anyone tried that yet?
Basically, I need a USB audio solution for my iBook and I want to hopefully get it right first time! Thanks for your help. |

Hey Sanric, this Swissonic machine is completely new to me. Do you use one? I've looked at their website and it certainly looks like a pretty cool machine with all the necessary ins and outs. Can I presume it will work with whichever sequencer I opt for - Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic, whatever?
It looks like the best 'free-standing' USB audio option I've seen so far, but I'd like to hear from someone who has actually used one day to day. What are the preamps like? Good recording sound generally? Thanks for the tip. Any more info gratefully consumed! |
