alright, here's what ill be running this portable system with...
ibook g4 1.33ghz, 1.25g ram, os X 10.3...(external firewire HD is an option here too)...

for the most part i will only be recording two tracks of audio at a time. either one stereo (processed guitar, piano), two mono (vocals and guitar or vocals and piano) and maybe in a live situation where i would just recording the stereo tracks from a mixer...
even when mixing nothing very labor entensive. not many tracks, not many plugins...

i'm currently working with cubase 2 on a pc system, with an digitech rpx bringing the tracks into the pc via usb. it works. but it's not pretty...

now, what i ask you exp users. what are my best options for a decent, but cost efficent ad/da convertor to finish off my system...

i've looked at the didisigns MBOX, but after checking out many forums learnt that many users are finding it not to run smoothly on ibooks, and that it's usb1 based, not usb2. which really sucks. but it still might be able to meet my needs no problem...

any other suggestions...???
