Hey everyone. I'm new to the Mac world, but did some limited audio recording with Pro Tools LE and Mbox on a PC platform. I found that combination unstable with XP service packs. Still have Mbox unit, but it's not compatible with newer Macs
We recently invested in a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2. I'm searching for a firewire interface with reasonable flexibility and MIDI capable. The Mackie Onyx Blackbird looks like a good unit with plenty of inputs, but there seems to be questions about Lion compatability. Any updates on this issue? Does it talk to garage band alright?
The first Apogee Duet is Firewire and has great reviews on sound quality, but is limited on inputs, and a fairly steep price tag.
M-audio ProFire 610 seems like a really versatile unit, but Avid hardware now has me gunshy.
Looking for something that is STABLE and user friendly. $500 max cost.
Thanks for any advice.
