Which makes the macbook merely a toy for our purposes? |

The audio specs are exactly the same for the built in audio. The Pro will just be able to do more, faster, by a little bit. The 1/8" in/ outs are also optical digital in/outs that you can access with a mini optical to toslink adapter that Belkin (among other companies) sells for about $29. With that, if you have a device that has optical digital ins and outs you can record direct digital ( up to 24bit, 96K) to/from without another external interface. It works with any DAW that uses the core audio of the Mac (except ProTools) both laptops come with "GarageBand" software as part of the OS that you can use right away to experiment with. |

Nothing at all to do with the computer??? I find that mic preamps are a big deal, not a little deal. (And the A/D D/A of the interface(s) is nothing to sneeze at.) But I'd say the quality of the recorded audio is usually tied to the skill of the operator. David Correia www.Celebrationsound.com p.s. I'm still in a bit of shock. The Red Sox, playing like dogs for 3 games at Fenway, and down 7 runs in the 7th, just beat the Rays in the bottom of the ninth to stave off elimination. |

But I'd say the quality of the recorded audio is usually tied to the skill of the operator. And don't forget the performer! |

I find that mic preamps are a big deal, not a little deal. (And the A/D D/A of the interface(s) is nothing to sneeze at.) Competence in those areas is cheaply and easily achieved these days. What do you consider a competent, cheap mic pre? And for that matter, a competent, cheap converter? I know I hear a distinct, preferential difference between the converters of a Waves L2 and a Digidesign 192K interface. Both are competent but neither is cheap. And I hear a huge difference between a Mackie pre and a GML. One of them is cheap. David Correia www.Celebrationsound.com |

Unless you are using a 3rd part premium sound interface, you can depend on audio recorded through a built-in analog input to be mediocre at best. So if mediocre is your goal, you will likely be satisfied (or not) with either Apple model (or any PC model, for that matter). |
