Hello!

Im looking for an external usb audio interface in the cheap price range and have been proposed these two.

http://www.m-audio.com

http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=237&subcategory=609&product=15186

Do anyone here have an opinion on which is better than the other? (only the hardware is of interest – not what software comes with it etc.)

If you maybe have an alternative that you think is better in the same price range feel free to tell about it!

Thanks!

/Oscar

yo.

If your comfortable with the I/O, the choice is yours. If your looking to expand in the future I would go with the MAudio. It's compatibility with Pro Tools makes it a definite. If you upgrade to say the Delta 10/10 or 18/14 for more inputs, you'll be able to say take the audiophile with you when you travel and still capture ideas without lugging a bunch of gear. That's how I do it and it's great. When I go out on tour, an extra hard drive, laptop, and Mbox travels with me for writing. When I get back home it's studio time. The sessions are already scratched out with guitar lines, vocals, and programmed drums. Makes it much more convenient.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
