Hi, I started this thread in 'Other Equipment and Reviews' but it was sugested that I move it here.
Basically, I have a nicely endowed jam room that I mix into a 16x4 Mackie. I need to be able to record four tracks simultaneously (the Mackie's 4 sub-mixes) and I plan on buying one of the new duo core iMacs.
What shall I use for an interface? The iMac has no PCI slot and choices are limited on Firewire/USB interfaces because most I've seen don't offer more than a stereo output. There again I'm an interface noob.... The Lexicon Omega is an attractive choice because of it's 4 track capability and software bundle but is USB (an inferior choice I'm told). Firewire may be a better choice but I'm not aware of any inexpensive products that compare.
Any suggestions for a hardware/software iMac compatable set-up?
