I'm looking for a good soundcard for my iMac to record vinyls for Final Scratch.
So far i found some M-Audio products:
Firewire Solo

Personally I think the Firewire Solo is a good soundcard for recording vinyls and it cost €219. Final Scratch has a soundcard, but I want to record vinyls in Peak so I can edit them on my iMac.
Firewire 410:

The Firewire 410 has more functions, but I don’t make music, I only edit tracks with Peak4.0 and it costs €315.
I also want to buy some small decent desktop monitor speakers to hear what I’m recording. I’m thinking of buying for the €100 that I “save” on the Firewire 410 on some M-Audio DX4 desktop monitor speakers.

I don't need super quality studio monitor speakers, just good enough for listenng music and editing music with a good sound.
Who can help me out, or has better sollutions?

But for just listening to music and editing music they are ok?brianc wrote:I just got those speakers, actually. For normal listening purposes, they're really good. I'd say they're better than any computer speaker out there. If you were doing something a little more demanding like mastering, I'd say spend a little more money.
I definitely think so. That's all I do with them, and I'm pretty happy.kiwi wrote:But for just listening to music and editing music they are ok?brianc wrote:I just got those speakers, actually.

I have for mixing 2 Behringer B2031A monitor speakers. Very cheap and very good for the money!
If you have few euros more i can recommend Alesis M1 Active MkII
Here in croatia this speakers cost smth like 400€, but i think that you can find them cheaper then here. Its a really great nearfield active monitor. Soundcard that you want to buy are ok, actualy i want to buy firewire 410, but if you dont need it for production, firewire solo is a great choice.
