Hi MPC users,

I've initially put this topic on the MPC500 thread, but then I decided that this is the correct thread to post in. I apologize to the admins, and if you could move the topic I'll be glad! Well, back to the original topic:

I'm finally starting to track out my MPC500 beats with the track-by-track method (Before I just recorded the whole beat to my mac). I'm using Live with some plugins and I'm starting to like the final product. The thing is, I'm using my old soundcard, and external Creative Audigy 2 NX, and I'm thinking of getting a new (used, to be more exact) soundcard. As I don't have a MPC with various outs, I guess I don't need a soundcard with too many in's, my main requirement is having MIDI input, so the track-by-track method could be quicker!

I'm thinking of getting an used Tascam Fire One, and I would like to know if anyone has ever worked with it, or if you have any other advice on which soundcard to get. Oh, my budget is low, that's why I'm looking at this Tascam, I can get it by 100€...

Btw, the main specs of the Tascam Fire One are here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov07/a ... ireone.htm.

Thanks in advance!
