Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Best DSP Fire wire Interface???? Metric halo or Apogee??

Undiscovered · 14th December 2009

Ok boys I am back.

My new Imac i7 just arrived and I am now able to install Logic 9 and all my drivers and updates for the Euphonix Mc Control and my new ULN-2.

So far its amazing.
But just a few questions.
1) Right now I have my hard drive plugged into the interface at fire wire 400 then the Uln-2 into the computer with a 400/800 adapter into the Imac i7.

So are there any other advantages if I plug the interface with the 400/800 adapter into the hard drive 800 slot then plug the hard drive 800 to the Imac 800?
Is there advantage going this other route?
Or is it the same speed and quality?

2) I want to connect my Vintech x73i outboard pre amp, into the uln-2 by bypassing the Uln-2 pres and going right into the AD converter. How do I do this?

3) Also how do I use the Mio console connect? I downloaded the link of the template you sent me for the Daw summing. But I am not able to send my Logic pro 9 tracks into the Mio mixer to add mio channel strip effects.

Do I have to use the Mio console connect as a plugin?
I am not sure I am setting this up correctly, is there a video tutorial about this subject.

Thank again, I am really loving my new set up.
