Turns out it is their latest driver - it's compatible with a number of Mac OS's. So, for example, when I went to M-Audio's driver page after reading your question, I didn't just look at what their latest driver is (because you're not using the latest Mac OS), but rather the driver that was compatible with the OS that you are using. I wouldn't worry about not knowing this and actually I'm not sure there's all that more to know! Drivers are kind of a fact of life for using audio interfaces, and the trick is just to make sure you have either the latest driver or rather one that works. Companies like M-Audio frequently update their drivers so it's always better to go to the company website and download the freshest drivers direct from their site. I wouldn't use the old M-Audio CD's because their contents could be outdated. So the manufacturers update their drivers to accomodate the latest computer OS's. The problem is when the computer company updates its OS software, it can sometimes break 3rd party drivers. Up to about 200 dollars, which is why I cannot consider the much more expensive Apogee Duet.Īudio drivers are just the piece of software that helps your computer communicate with your interface. I do not know if these (some or all) are great or note. Is your model and intel one witha good sound chip? Some on Mac Jams say a mixer with phantom power for certain mics is goodģ) Others such as BEHRINGER (Behringer XENYX502 ) which seem very cheap.almost free! Or the biggish Eurorack. Others like this: BEHRINGER XENYX 1204Usb and X1204USB, A1222,USB, X1622, ALLEN & HEATH ZED-10, Yamaha MW10C Presumably that is good if I want to do a live concert and the venue has no mixer, as I could use line outs. Not sure how they differ from the more common 122 and 144.Ħ) Presonus Audiobox 22VSL (Virtual studio live)ġ0) Alesis Multimix 4, 6 and and 6-These models seem to be mixers and USB interfaces. Have read though loads have people have had issues with drivers.ģ) Other Tascam models like TASCAM US-200 and US-600. Salesman swore by them, but I see they are USB 1.1 So am wary.Ģ) Tascam 122MK2 and 144MK2.
Or how about any of these USB models? I have heard some say there are no big issues with USB these days, but I suppose it depends on the machine and the USB interface.ġ) Yamaha Audiogram 3 and 6.
Wonder if any of these would work with either you or my setup?Ĥ) Presonus Firestudio Mobile-just about at the top of my budget. 4 Cores 8MB cache, Audio ID 24, Firewire 800 Mb/sec, 2 internal disks : (A) 2 TB Hitachi hard drive ( 251 GB Solid State Disk (Available 73 Gb) Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 I have 27inch Imac 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of memory.
