hi there,

first post...great site!
so i just wanted to make sure you're all aware of the great audio interfaces by rme. the hammerfall series uses pci cards (or cardbus for laptops) that work perfectly well in os9 (the drivers can still be downloaded from rme) they can be bought cheaply (100-200$) over ebay and are really great cards with hardware monitoring and a totalmix application. check them out!

Welcome MacOS9Lives! Tell us about totalMIX advantages!

lokki:
well you can route everything everywhere with total mix (any hardware input to any output) you have subgroups and you can safe your "mixes" it happens all on the hardware and there is zero cpu used. you can unplug the interface and still use it in this configuration without a computer.

It was pci+rack? Or pci alone? RME ADI cost more than 100-200 bucks

DieHard:
I remember way back... I was beta testing Nuendo 1.52 for Mac OS and Nuendo for PC for Steinberg and RME sent me a Prototype (think i was a 9652) PCI card...

They sent 2 EPROM's that I would swap on the card (1 for PC, 1 for Mac) and I tested that card straight for about 5 weeks... the tracks it produced were so clear (no digital "smearing/jitter"); the bass warmth & response far exceeded all other cards we were testing at the time (Delta series, motu, etc.); It was, by far, the winner in in all categories as far as driver stability & the quality of recordings (D/A converters are awesome... probably only surpassed by Apogee at the time).

I would recommend an RME interface to anyone that can afford one, they have come down so much over the years... an 8 track "Multiface" with a PCI card will set you back about $350 to $400 on ebay these days, but that was a fraction of the original cost.

if you are a very serious producer under OS 9 and want to multitrack a few instruments at a time then RME is for you...

if you are a solo artist on a budget, the M-Audio 2496 is still the clear winner ($89 to $99), great converters, MIDI included, 2 track analog or 4 track using analog and digital ins at the same time)
