http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan...olutionuc33.htm
im producing in my livingroom now as it is getting some work done and the production desk is removed. going to buy a new one when apartment is finished. then i can start looking on new monitors and a mac. |
I'm a bit curious about that controller, i really want to get it as it is cheap and looks pretty solid (plus i have seen PVD uses it live). Can you give me some pros and cons of it please?
And yeah i will also be using it for reason. |

not really, it does what it is suppose to do, i thought i had latency-issues with it but it turns out that was soundcard settings-issue and asio4all mess. u dont need to install anything its just plug n play. i use it it reason and it works nice. the knobs and faders feels cheap and i doubt it will last long, i just got it. i would want more buttons tho (one or two over each channel would rock!). its not very expensive tho so just buy it. |

Definitely feels REALLY cheap and I'm not convinced it'll last long
But it works. A few of my friends use them... |

I disagree. The new Macbooks don't have Firewire so they're completely useless for production. USB sound cards suck.
If that was a picture of the new Macbook Pro I'd agree. God, those are sleek. I want one so bad. |

I disagree. The Apogee Mini-DAC has USB... but it can only do 48khz under this vs. 192khz over firewire. But even with the Mini-DAC at 41.1khz, it still doesn't suck. |

OK I'll clarify
There are VERY few good USB soundcards. USB just isn't the greatest for high speed audio applications, especially if you multitrack.
Apogee is very expensive. You can get a good FW sound card for 250$, whereas a good USB sound card will run you 500-600$+, and be worse than a FW card for that price.
You're better off spending the extra dough for the MBP, the regular macbook doesn't really have the performance you'd want for production anyways (IMO). |
