Audio interface advice needed...
Published (2009-12-01 00:00:00)
Yep audio quality is definitely one of my priorities. Something I shouldve mentioned though too is that I'd like it to be easy to setup/pack down and transport, hence using a laptop and not a desktop to run it all through. If I go the Apogee route, I still need to get something for midi interface, which is another cable, another potential driver and link in the chain where things could go wrong... hence one of the reasons for the...

It really depends on the hardware manufacturer and their USB implementations. Apogee is rock-solid. You could get a MIDI to USB cable or box from $7 up to $50.

Probably need a really thin cable to get out the optical disc slot though and somehow attach the end connector after slipping it though... so this is an iffy idea unless that type of cable exists somehow. Dang, that is...

So far, so good. I have not done much with it because I am still installing stuff (in my copious free time). It is not silent, but it is a helluva lot quieter than my G5 hoover, and from mucking about with patches in Absynth / FM8 it seems to have plenty of oomph.

Published (2009-11-30 04:43:00)
Bertrand, I also have the US-428 and used only MIDI mode for several years. I use the faders, transport and wheel in Logic Pro 8 in Leopard....alles klar. However, I will upgrade to Snow Leopard and Logic Pro 9. I hope it works, otherwise, C'est la vie . I know my Tranzport will work ('has no faders).

Presonus Firestudio Project will work stand alone. I guess some of their more expensive gear will also. MOTU Ultralite does as well and allows greater mixer control from the front panel. Alesis and others make some firewire/usb mixers that could be handy live. You only need two ins and outs? USB 2 is probably fine for only a few. What is your budget? If you want great audio, many are raving ...

Have you tried contacting Tascam about it? Given that it is an old unit, it would not be surprising if it is not supported in Snow Leopard. Tascam did not include it in their list of tested interfaces. http://www.tascam.com/article;34,2034,3800.html

I’ve bene usino 54000RPMs to record on for years now. Never had a problem. I know professional audio people using minis all time for film, TV work and music with no issues starting with the G4s. So go nuts!

When I was in Japan (until 2007) Yamaha and Casio both offered quite good 88-key weighted keyboards with MIDI i/o for great prices. (Prices not as good now if you are exchanging US$.) Anyway, some have USB, but even if they do not, a USB-MIDI interface should only run an extra 3-4000 yen.
