I'm new to the forum, and to recording in general. I really want to get something that I can plug into my flatscreen iMac G4 that will allow me to record vox, guitar/bass, and possibly even drums directly into my computer. I also would like this to come with tools to record/master what I do. I went to Guitar center and asked them, and they suggested the M-audio firewire 410, and a friend of mine suggested to me the Digidesign Mbox. Do you all have any suggestions maybe? I have been looking at these two systems and am worried that the M-audio doesn't come with very a very complete editing/mixing/etc. software, but really like the amount of inputs and the fact that it already has a midi solution. Any thoughts, or other suggestions, PLEASE?!!?

No, the Tascam version of Cubasis VST is OS9 only - there is no OSX version. BUT, owning it does give you an upgrade path to OSX compatible Cubase software - SX, SL, etc. I believe for a 50% discount off retail. Contact Steinberg for more details. (They require proof of purchase and all that jazz.)
