M Audio Firewire Or M Box Options

[melodic]

Hey everybody,

I have a Powerbook G4 1 Ghz and Logic Audio 5.5, I am hesitating between the M box and the M Audio Firewire,. Does the Firewire connection reduce latency that much. Anybody has used the M box and has tips for me?
let me know please

Thanks

I can't really help you out but for telling you I traded in my M-bow for the digi002R (also PB 1 GHz). On the M-box you can listnen to to your analog inputs directly, but it leaves out al the efx you put on (for ex.) your guitar. For vocals and other akoustic instruments it works like chime. I will check out the latency with the digi002 and let you know. Since digidesign left out the direct monitoring (as in the M-box) I suppose it will be allright on the latency. (ther's also a "low latancy" modus you can switch to).
Remark: with the M adio you won't be able to run Protools!!
The digidesign core audio driver will let you use the M box with other programs...
