ive just got hold of my lovely sexy i mac 700 cdrw im so
happy i can start to make some tunes at last . my little p2
366 windows lappy was in no way up to the job . this is my
first time on a mac and i love it, its so user frendly. i
could do with some advice though!
do i have to defrag the hard drive? and most importantly i
want to get audio into and out of my mac whats the best
audio interface about?

Re: Interface

M-Audio Quattro is meant to be pretty damn good (better than
Duo) - for USB interface.

But it depends what quality/features you want. If you don't
need a sound card, then the imic, by griffin (which
is a usb-minijack converter) should do the job for getting
audio into the computer?

defrag .. occasionally I guess? just like any other hard
drive?

No probs.

Apparently the built in AudioCore soundcard on the new macs
is meant to be pretty decent .. so i guess its a matter of
how many ins and outs you want?

latency is really important warpphex, the quattro runs at
very low latency, id check the specs for the iMic first if
you wanna make music with it

ie lower latency = better - makes your audio program more
responsive to knob turning/midi
