Re: Audio Interface for Notebook Users

[Jeff Kaiser <loopersdelight@pfmentum.com>]

I would recommend the M-Audio stuff for portability. I currently use 
the firewire 1814, and have used the 410 as well. However, I am quite 
tempted by the MOTU Ultralight....although there is no lightpipe. All 
of those are very compact, durable, great for gigging.. The quality of 
the M-Audio pres are ok, but they certainly won't compare to the high 
price stuff, of course. Always a costs-benefit thing.....always a 
trade-off one way or the other. It also seems that the firewire will 
also give you more ins/outs and higher resolution so you could use the 
interface for other things besides gigging, like mobile recording.
