Audio Interface For Mac Mini

Hi, I got my existing set-up back in 2003. I'm now about to update it. I've talked to Apple Technical Support re which computer is best for me. Some important questions remain in terms of the audio interface or sound bridge I should use. I've detailed below my existing set-up, my existing configuration, my desired set-up (as recommended by Apple expert) and questions I have.

Existing set-up: Hardware. ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor 2. PowerMac G4 (PowerPC processor) computer 3. PCI-424 soundcard within computer (works in conjunction with MOTU 2408 mk3 unit) 4. MOTU 2408 mk3 5. Is there a program like paint tool sai for mac free.

Quested monitors 6. Focusrite Session Pack ff ISA220 compressor 7. MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface) 8.

Whether you want to call it an audio interface or a soundcard, if you make music on a Mac, PC, iPad or even iPhone, it makes sense to get the best box of I/O tricks that you possibly can. There’s no single purchase more confusing than the audio interface. Because of the fact that audio interfaces have so many features, it’s difficult to know which ones matter, and which ones don’t. While the Apogee Duet and Quartet are “Mac Only” interfaces, the newer Pro Tools Duet and Quartet are compatible with both Mac and PC.

Keyboard (yet to choose - I'll explain later) 9. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone 10. ADK Tube Condenser Commemorative Edition microphone power box (supplies both power and phantom power) Software. Tiger 10.4.11 operating system 12. Logic Studio 8 music program Desired set-up: 1.

ViewSonic HDMI 1080p Full HD LED monitor 2. Mac Mini full spec = £999.00 3.

Look familiar? It’s like iMovie from yesteryear, complete with the more industry standard video timeline. IShowU Studio captures whatever is on your Mac’s screen as a movie.

This means that the sound comes out of computer via the MOTU 2408 and out of my Quested monitors (they are active so self-powered) which are attached to the MOTU's outputs. When I record vocals I sing into my ADK microphone (this microphone sources its own power from its own box which also feeds it Phantom Power) which is connected by a mic to jack cable to the Focusrite compressor which is connected by jack to jack cable to the MOTU 2408 which then goes into my computer via a firewire cable. When I play keyboards or use my keyboard as a midi controller it connects to my computer via the MOTU micro lite (midi-usb interface).
