Since you have a mac i would suggest Apogee one are Duet. I was using the onboard sound-card of my macbook and the Fast Track Pro. You can really hear the difference! It's almost like using HD TV instead of an old conventional tube TV. I'm not recommending the Fast Track Pro its sound is not as good...

Yes like it has been said before, don't buy the FastTrack Pro!
Every time I turned the light in the toilette on I had to restart my MacBook!
No Joke! It was 100% positive correlated R=1.0.


So now I'm just using the MacBook, and it works perfect.

Yes its strange that 2 Producers that I respect are using strange,cheap Software.
Burial and James Holden. interesting

I don't like to sound like anyone else so I don't use samples at all, only single- shots from Drummachines.
