Ok, not a lot of options I guess.

RME Audio - makes the Hammerfall DSPs, that goes into your G4 via the PCI CARD slot, BUT, no AES/EBU ins. Only ADAT and SPDIF. http://www.rme-audio.com

Metric Halo - Makes the mobile i/o that DOES HAVE AES/EBU very good option but is more expensive than the RME and also goes on the PCI CARD slot http://www.metric-halo.com

MOTU - makes the 896 that also have AES/EBU. Price between the RME and MH. Goes in thru FireWire. http://www.motu.com

Check out the websites and find out which one is better for you. See what you need, some of those interfaces have pre amps, some have a lot of digital ins... try to find out which suits your need better.

Hi jeronimo. Thanks for replying. Hmm. Soccer and elementary school in the USA...shame, they have a good team.

I don't have a powerbook, I was sketching out a scenario for having the most portable, quality
tracking rig, that could interface with my main core system - which is going to be Fairlight.

I was thinking of either the Apogee Trak2 or RME.
The RME stuff has an excellent reputation, specs etc. but using any other card would double up on the converters - maybe I'll email Eve Manley,
see what they suggest.

Kind regards
Urg. Spain play Ireland next. My background's Irish, but I really like Spain. Maybe I'll hide also!!! :cool:

Hey stedel, USA is going far on the cup huh?! I would never tell Argentina, Italy and France would leave the cup and USA would stay... it´s a shame... well... good for us :) If we win friday... We´re almost there!! :) :) :)

Well, back on the subject:
Be aware that the Hammerfall DSP interfaces are not as good as the stand alone ones from RME... so, maybe a good idea is to get the MetricHalo one, or the 896...

You can get the 896 and a good converter and you´re done!

Hi jeronimo. I'm in hiding also. I'm from the UK - which includes England...guess who they're playing next!!! Thought Italy lost their own game, like Ireland, but I love watching Korea play!

Manley give you an option of their own fitted AD/DA converters for the SLAM! (and jeez, they are not cheap!!!) - so the problem is how to use Manleys converters with Apples current I/O technology - short of doubling up on converters. Can it be done without an additional soundcard? Will Ronaldo sink Beckham? Ah the deep questions of life. Good luck on Friday - whatever the result...still friends?

Kind regards :cool:

Yeah Stedel, doesn´t matter the results, we´re still friends (but if I want to throw a kick drum in your head... :) )
Humm, I don´t think there is a digital input on the G4s. You´ll need something to interface the computer and the Manley. Let´s say, something like the Hammerfall DSP + digiface (this one has a lot of digital inputs) or some USB or Firewire audio interface with digital ins... :roll:

Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!
