http://www.m-audio.com/products/m-audio/mobilepre.php not entirely sure what you guys have been talking about but i saw a reference to the imic and had to give my 2 cents... the imic sucks, plain and simple. I've tried to put some guitar on a track in some audio program or other using my korg pxr4 out to the imic and it was almost 2 full seconds behind. latency in the imic is a huge problem on my ibook. i've been toying around with getting the new edirol 32 key midi-keyboard with a bunch of audio in and out options on the back of the unit. m-audio, which i've provided a link to has some great stuff. the link is to their usb pre which i've seen as low as $179 on the web would be as much as getting multiple imics and i'd assume lightyears beyond in audio quality. ============================================================ From: "Ben Kennedy" <ben@zygoat.ca> Date: 2003/10/24 Fri AM 11:34:38 EDT To: "Doggiebox List(s)" <doggiebox@lists.zygoat.ca> Subject: Re: [Doggiebox] audio out On 24 10 2003 at 11:30 am -0400, Carl Edlund Anderson wrote:
Does anyone know anything cheaper and dumber (like, just lets you split multiple audio channels via Firewire or USB into audio, and nothing more? :) I've got plenty of mixing power on my VS-1680, though little output power from my PowerBook (which only does Firewire through a PC card, but if I save up to get my wife one of those new iBooks .... :)
By far the cheapest device I've seen is the Griffin iMic... it's got a pair of stereo minijacks (one for in and one for out) and connects by USB. It's what I was using for too long before getting the "real" equipment. :) I haven't tried, but I imagine you could probably plug several of these babies into your computer if you had enough USB ports. Of course, the output quality is lesser (and input quality sucked, I kept having problems with noise and weird clipping and stuff, but I began to conclude it was crappy USB audio drivers in Mac OS X), and they only support 44.1khz at 20-bit. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zygoat Doggiebox discussion list - <http://www.doggiebox.com> To unsubscribe, view archives or change your options: <http://lists.zygoat.ca/mailman/listinfo/doggiebox> ============================================================
