Title: Laptoppers! re: M Audio Transit
Post by: firmdragon on June 16, 2004, 09:11:12 PM
is this kosher for 24/96 usb>laptop recording?
bit for bit, no resampling and all the good stuff?

I *think* this is used by many people for firewire->laptop.

no firewire on the transit.  just usb.  as i understand it, usb is only good for recording up to 24/48.  people have had all kinds of issues trying to do 24/96 over usb.  i use the m-audio firwire audiophile to do 24/96 on my laptop.  if you have a firwire port on your lappy, i highly suggest looking into it.

All those people tend to be PC users.  My macs have never had problems with 24/96 over USB...

I have not had any problems with my PC running 24/96 via USB.  Take if for what it's worth.

is the m-audio firewire a a/d unit? or just an interface, as in, can I pass my V3 through it for lappy recording via firewire?

i believe it is both an a/d and an interface.  you can pass the V3 signal through it.  i run soundfield > V3 > firewire audiophile > laptop.
