Hello,
Awhile back, I had started a thread asking about computers and upgrading to a new computer. Well, just this Wednesday, I finally made the plunge and made a big one: I made the switch from a PC to the new iMac Intel Core Duo, 20 inches, 2GHz, 2 GB of RAM. It should be here Monday morning.
The goal is to produce music as a convincing one man band from my M-Audio Keystation ES88 MIDI Controller (along with the Korg Digital Legacy Collection to produce the sounds off of). Basically a one man show.
To cut to the chase, when I was on my PC, I was using the M-Audiophile 2496 card. I hear that the iMac does not support PCI cards such as this, so it looks as if I will need to buy a replacement, which begs the question: what soundcards would you recommend as an adequate replacement for my Audiophile on this machine, for what I want to do? I would just love to plug in my MIDI Controller, speakers and microphone into it and record away. Something not too expensive... anything under $250 would be great. When I went to the Guitar Center last weekend, someone recommended the Fast Track Pro, but I thought I'd ask here, as well, before making any decisions. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
