[QUOTE="csogilvie, post: 24218"] As a music professional, I recently purchased an 12" g4 Ibook for my concert recording needs. I have always done my editing, mixing and mastering on my PC, but the first thing I ever bought for it was a PROFESSIONAL audio card. As for the sound quality of the internals of any computer.... Most stock sound cards are just not up to the job for professional recording. What you want is either a USB or Firewire device that converts your microphone inputs to digital. If you only need 2 microphone pre-amplifiers take a look at the following: Digidesign Mbox Lexicon Omega Mackie Spike Apogee Mini-me. If you need more, there are many fantastic ways to spend a lot of money fast. Some of which include Metric Audio Mobile I/O Mackie ONYX with FW option (newly released at NAAM in January) and a whole slew of others that cost thousands of dollars. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
