Having originally planned to get a Carillon system to run SX2, I found myself last week by 15" Powerbook which I will be using instead, or until I have the wedge to get the Carillon (all manner of issues with this I know but move on...)
I had originally planned to get a an Aardvark Pro Q10 as my soundcard as it did away with the need for a mixer and apparently has fantastic preamps. The Powerbook means I need to revise this so I would appreciate any recommendations of cards that would be as good or better. I have seen MOTU's 828 MKII (which has found quite a lot of advocates on this forum) but can't get any info on te preamps. Also I know MOTU has it's own sequencer platform, but are there any major issues running it with Cubase?
Lastly, now that Apple have bought Emagic and Pinnacle Steinberg, there is some concern that Steinberg won't (or may drop) support for Mac as thoroughly. Anyone having a good time running SX2? Don't particularly want to run Logic as my brothers and several friends run Cubase and I need to be able to swap work etc.
If you've perservered through the above ramble I'd appreciate your wisdom
