Cheap 8-in options for Logic - Delta 1010? [message #87353]

Hi,

I have a friend (it's not me honestly... still Paris through and through...
;o) who uses Logic and has a very old audio card which is fairly dodgy and
needs an upgrade. He's a drummer and mostly tracks drums, so he needs 8 tracks
minimum (and the budget is not likely to stretch beyond that).

Anybody got some suggestions as to what may be a good card to get? And/or
opinions specifically on the M-Audio cards?

Thanks,

Cheers,
Kim.

I've got the Delta 1010 rack version and I found it to be more than adequate
for the work I was doing, (am doing), but that was a replacement for a 1010
LE that I had originally that was crap.
There was so much noise getting into the preams from the computer, it was
unuseable.

The dealer didn't have any more in stock so they gave me the rack version
instead...and I was really happy.
I now use the M-Audio Mix Control firewire unit so the 1010 is relegated to
emergancies.

They are really quite decent sounding and the drivers are fairly
robust. One thing to be aware of though... you can get direct
monitoring only on the first two channels... not sure if that's a
problem for you or not. It would only become an issue when
overdubbing more than two tracks at a time. Other than that, they work
great.

HI Kim,
If it for a Mac then remember that it is a PCI card. So it will only
work on older G5s and g4s.
If it is a newer G5 then firewire is the only way to go.
