Re: MD: G$ Audio input
Hi David, David Bock [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I recently bought a Sony MZ-R37 and a Powerbook G4 tower. Using them together, I imagined I would tape interviews, field audio, etc. with the MD recorder, then input the audio to the G4 to edit it. Well it turns out the G4 has no minijack input. I was told to use a USB port to bring audio in, but am having trouble finding the right adapter. I'd like to keep the audio digital, but from what I've read I will have to go from an analog out. With just an MZ-R37 to use for audio transfer to the Mac, your only choice is by way of an analog step. The Griffin iMic adapter (see http://www.griffintechnology.com/audio/imic_main.html) would seem to be ideal. It's engineered for the Macintosh, accepts mic and line level inputs, and costs (MSRP) $35. By the way, if you do get one, we'd love to have even a brief review for the MDCP.

Re: MD: G$ Audio input
hi there, do you have a power book or a g4 tower? :_) do you want an external solution (if your using a powerbook that'll be your only solution) or do you want something internal on a pci slot. things i would recomend are the m-audio audiophile 24/96, which has analog inputs and outputs on rca jacks, and digital in and out on spidf rca jacks, as well as midi in and out. i've found it at a very good price if your interested with free shipping. when i finally pick up an audio card this will be the one i get. soundblaster also have their live card out for the mac, i haven't heard much on it, nor if the daughterboards with optical in/out work with it. for an external solution i've heard good things about the roland ua-30, it's a usb device and has a lot of input output options. as for keeping your md signal totally digital, you'd need to buy seperate deck that has a digital out (most do) regards, - christian David Bock wrote: Hello all, I recently bought a Sony MZ-R37 and a Powerbook G4 tower.

I'd like to keep the audio digital, but from what I've read I will have to go from an analog out. Someone else mentioned a soundcard, but Griffin Technologies has a whole line of audio input devices for G4s: http://www.griffintechnology.com/audio/ On the cheap end, you'd be happy with the iMic ($35). The new PowerWave ($99) is a step up, and includes a 10W/channel integrated amp for output to external speakers. If you want a great external soundcard that works with the G4, the Onkyo SE-U55 ($199) offers optical and coax in/out, along with Mic input, line in and line out, and a headphone jack. It connects to your G4 via USB: http://www.onkyomm.com/products.cfm?id=1 They also have a cheaper version, the MSE-U33HB ($149): http://www.onkyomm.com/products.cfm?id=2 If you're going to be doing a lot of recording, I would recommend the U55. It has every input/output you might need, plus recording level adjustments and good monitoring settings. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
