USB 2.0 Audio Interface

[JayPH]

Hi All

Is anyone using a USB 2.0 AI?

I want to start recording from home. Mainly Acoustic Guitar, Bass and vocals but I wanted my rig to be portable so I can do stuff with other musicians at their location.

I think it's safe to say most people go with FireWire. The thing is my Sony Vaio doesn't have Firewire so I was thinking of getting a USB 2.0 Interface.

QUite a few people have told me that USB 2.0 is fine now unless you are recording lots of instruments at the same time and this isn't somthing I'd be doing immediately.

These are the models I've been looking at:

I'd be really grateful to hear of anyones experiences with either of these units

Thanks in advance
