m audio 610... not sure of the conversion but should be close
or the 410 if you can't find the 610 cheap enough. The 610 is much better tho.
Is a mixer not required? Or does that interface do everything i need it to do?
Plus, how does it plug in? USB? what connections do i need?
the 410 and 610 are both firewire... if you don't have a firewire card, you can pick one up for dirt cheap... I got mine for like 8 bucks a year ago... and you won't need a mixer unless you're recordin' several mics at once...
Is it USB? Sorry for the questions, just need to be 100% sure on my investments.
no... it's firewire...
how do you install a firewire card btw. is it just a plug-in type thing? like into the back of the comp? or open it up and do it?
yeah, it just snaps in like ram or a usb card does... open the case, pick an open slot, stick it in... windows usually will recognize it automatically...
I haven't seen any 410's lately man... shit's damn near non existent... *sigh*Quote:

beware of cheap firewire cards. Don't buy a firewire card without a Texas Instrument chipset to avoid any compatibility issues. My stock firewire port on my ASUS workstation motherboard wouldn't even work with my 1814. I had to get an aftermarket card. Cost me like $70 for a god one. I put them in all the Studio PCs that I sell tho.Quote:
