Yeah. I'm pissed too -- no sign of OS X support for the MOTU 828 either. I was hoping they would announce something at MusikMesse, but I don't think they're even there. :evil:

Could you get a Magma PCI converter and stick an M Audio Delta card in it. Does anyone besides M Audio have OSX drivers yet?

i'm going through the same headache! i'm so psyched that Live is OSX ready and very soon Reason will be too. I was planning to be in X full time but I can't find an audio interface/card either. there really aren't any decent options right now! hopefully soon. OSX rocks and the built in MIDI is killer and works like a charm. it's weird cause i do video and graphics and my apps for that stuff have been OSX for a while. the music stuff is like the only stuff falling behind...

Yes, the audio hardware developers need some pressure put on them. Cubase, logic and pro-tools aren't available yet, but there are plenty of good apps, like live, that need drivers.

They will probably all come out at the same time, by the looks of things.

OS 9 for anything performance-orientated is scary.

I have a US 428... tascam keep getting asked in the forum when the drivers will be ready.

The iMic works with os x, so says the website. I know it is not a powerhouse, but you can\'t beat the size (or price) if setting up a gig and then you can have os x stability. i use the iMic with Live and os.9; I have the iMic hooked up to the G4QS mac and the other side to my mixer with all my instruments hooked up to the mixer. With the ASIO driver iMic provides I have no noticable latency and it records at a 24 bit level. However, i do have audio problems (audio distorts after twenty minutes of loop play, goes away after restart) though i\'m not sure the cause, live bug, drivers, iMic.

My understanding is that many software/hardware developers are waiting for the official release of MacOS X 10.2, which is supposed to have more Core Audio support. Much of the cool possibilities are listed here:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/audio.html

I run OS X on three machines right now, and have the M-Audio 2496 card installed in one machine, with mixed results (so mixed, I don't even really use it). Once Reason 2.0 comes out, and someone steps forward w/ a good PCMCIA or FireWire-based audio interface that works in OS X, I'm there. Regardless of DirectX, blah blah blah, OSX is the future of audio and video, and I plan to be there.

I've used the imic with live in os x and it works well as an output device. can't get live to recognise the input (maybe 1.5 will fix this?), but if you're not sampling directly at gigs it's a good way to go for now. i'm surprised midiman don't have os x drivers for the audiosport quattro - the extra outputs would come in handy for pre-listening and it'd be a good budget option.

In a word:

Nope. Five years later, and still no soundcards available for OSX.

Sucks. I hear every single soundcard in existence already works perfectly in Vista, down to .9 ms latency at 2.8224 MHz.

Best,
