As I begin to piece together some equipment for composing music, I've decided my first hardware buys are:
MIDI controller keyboard Audio (USB or FireWire) interface (1/4" inputs, MIDI, XLRs, etc) Studio Mic and I'll go from there with appropriate software. But I was wondering: I could get a USB controller keyboard. But since I am going to get some sort of audio interface (say a Tascam US-122 or M-Audio 410), do the MIDI inputs transfer through the USB/FiWi. For example, if I want to hook up an old pre-USB keyboard via MIDI, will the hardware properly transfer the MIDI calls from the keyboard and send through USB/FiWi to the computer? And will any MIDI keyboard work? Any problems you see with this setup? Did I just confuse the hell out of you? Also, I need more information on the "debate" between USB and FireWire audio interfaces. I know which one is the best, but it's also the more expensive, and I'm pretty low on money at the moment. just a caveman, alphonse |
