[QUOTE="JUKE179r, post: 1032827, member: 129964"] Well... I can definitely say that the E-MU is out of the question because the firmware is supported only for Windoze. I got to mess around with the Duet at the Apple store. It's nice but not really for me (DJing & live music sets) especially the price. :Grimmace: I like M-Audio equipment but I'm a FireWire (FW) type of guy.
