If you use plugins or render lots of tracks then definitely maximize your ram. Read all the reviews of the gear you are looking at. Of the two you mention I like the Traveler better.

It looks like you are also looking for new software not just and interface.

How many chanels are you planing to record at a time? Because the traveler offers Lightpipe and you have the option for external Pre's or other lightpipe devices (more chanels).

In regards to software I have never used any of the two you mentioned but I like protools witch I some times use although my main DAW is Cubase 4 witch I been really happy with.

I would definitely max out the RAM no matter what.
I hope you find something that suits your needs.

Zoro.

If you are going Logic take a look at the NEW Apogee GIO

Also take a look at the Logic 9 http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/

Looking for both actually (new DAW software and a new firewire device). I'm keeping protools but I want to try new things.
Record/Reason looks promising so I definitely want a versatile interface that can work with both Propellerhead stuff and Logic.

I typically want an interface that can receive stereo inputs so I can run a stereo guitar like a Godin with an electric input and an Piezo input in stereo .
Nothing too complicated. Its just for a project studio and I only plan to record guitars and basses. All synths and beats will be through plugins/vsts/Live Reason etc.

I'm just avoiding M-Audio for now.

Thanks

Strictly speaking, that isn't stereo. That's just two channels.

anymore sugesstions? I i am lookiing for an interface for my macbook pro. any good/bad experinces?
