Allrite, here's the scenario. I have a PC at home and my wife just acquired a used P4 laptop running on XP Home edition. And i've been thinking of getting an external audio interface for recording, something like an external soundcard so that i could use it on both of the machines. Ideally i would like something with a midi connector,supports 24-bit/96kHz recording with low latency and the price range should be around RM600 or below. Been surfing around and found some products that could well be serving those purposes i mentioned. The question is.. does anyone here uses an external audio interface? if yes which model & brand? what are your experience with it and which one you would consider for yourself? or any recommendations?
These are some of the interface that im considering..
TASCAM US-122

M-Audio Transit USB
http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/Transit-main-1.html
Edirol UA-20
http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua20.html
any feedback would be great!!

actually for usb-based , i've only used the tascam us-122.... it's just like any other audio capture. the good thing is it has xlr connections, phantom power, (which all of those are must-haves)....
i got to use it because my workplace actually is the distributor for Tascam products..

so mr. Elk.. apa kesimpulannya? dah beli ke belum external audio interface ni? kau beli yg mana satu?? bagi la review sikit...
actually i'm also looking for a low budget external USB audio interface myself... i wanna get that Edirol UA-20 but dunno the price and where to find them...
that M-Audio Transit looks cute and it's cheap too (i hope) but how about the performance??
any other suggestions? or maybe i should save some to get that Tascam US-122 just like jason's... tapi tak support 24/96 recording... penting ke feature tu?

hey Jason ..
During clinic session in rottwailers convention last day i was expacted that u will teach us how to do homerecording, may be to give us some tips or at least tell us the basic things in order to get a good result of sound. But you ambil kesempatan utk buat promotion u punya business dari mula sampai habis. Was that a clinic session? i was really hope for 'live' homerecording tips during your session.. and we were kind of disappointed..

alrighty... akhirnya aku dah jumpa audio interface yg sesuai dgn kehendak aku... bukan USB la, but FireWire!
M-Audio FireWire Solo - FireWire Mobile Audio Interface for Songwriter/Guitarists
 product details
front / rear view
Pros: Phantom power, 24-bit/96kHz recording, front-panel microphone+guitar+line inputs, portable...
Cons: Not supported under Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me or Windows 2000!
this shit costs around S$345.00 (thats about RM800 - still under my budget - yay!).. but the thing is, my office still uses Windows 2000 and it doesn't have FireWire card installed, so i don't think it's quite versatile for now... so for short term, i'll get the Fast Track USB first and in the future i'll upgrade to FireWire Solo for my home-studio project!

why u guys choose to get the 24-bit/96kHz things?
isnt 24-bit/192kHz really differs in sound (better) compared to 24-bit/96kHz?
correct me if i'm wrong.
