    well I have a tricked out mac mini and now it's time to decide what firewire device to buy.

    tascam us-122 vs. Digidesign Mbox

    they both claim to do the exact same things...except one is $450 and the other is $200...I would normally just assume it's more because it's digidesign...but the reviews for the mbox average out at about 9 out of 10, and the us-122 at about 7 out of 10. what's the deal?

    audiophile 2496 vs. audigy 2

    they both record at 24/96, they both have midi...the audigy 2 even has a convieniant front pannel with headphone jack, volume knobs and midi ports... so why is the audiophile more expensive? and why is soundblaster not a good choice for recording?
