 I am just buying a Powerbook 15" G4 1.25 with 10.3(Panther)and also M Audios Firewire 410. Can anyone assure me that this is a good system for recording music and approx the limitations of audio and midi? (how many tracks etc.) I have always stuck by my trusty Atari 1040 but realised it was time to switch. Ive owned macs for years but never for music as I had so many problems with cubase on the mac. Whats the timing like? Any glitching? Does the Firewire 410 work with OSX 10.3. Can you write an entire track in audio, I am assuming that the mac records the audio track so I wont need to take the device when arranging, is this right?? Any other advice, greatly appreciated Later |

bilhep- actually i don't think it _really has 4 inputs, i think they get the number up to 4in and 10out by including the spdif. the analog i/o is just 2in and 8out. kind of misleading on their part if you ask me.
the m-audio site says '4-in/10-out configuration', but right below that in the actual specs it says: Features > 2 x 8 24-bit analog I/O > 192kHz output (output 1 and 2 only; 96kHz on others); 96kHz input > digital I/O w/ S/PDIF, AC3 and DTS (coax and optical) good luck with the drivers, btw- let us know how it shakes out- and hope you weren't expecting a different i/o setup on the 410. -------------------- Kit: Dual Ghz G4, Vaio 2.6ghz GRV670 notebook.
