Echo Indigo Sound Card

Echo Indigo as replacement to frustrating MBOX?


By Luisa_K - usenet poster


Hi there,

You may have read of my year long and somewhat pathetic attempts to get
an MBOX to work with my Thinkpad. I've decided that enough is enough
and I'm going to ebay it.

I would like to replace it with something rock solidly reliable and not
finicky. And smaller than the MBOX would be ideal. I was thinking
that the Echo Indigo I/O would fit the bill. Has anyone used this for
pro recording?

The things that I would be using it for would be for recording my voice
for radio documentary projects, transferring audio from minidiscs and
tapes and occasionally recording live stereo of acoustic music.

I have a Beyer Dynamic M58, and I'm not sure what I would need to do to
get that to interface with the Indigo. Also I would like to get some
recomendations of a good, audio editor with some good eq control (while
being fairly user friendly).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Paul

Paul,
I suggest that you go to a pro audio store and have the hardware and
software installed and tested before making any more purchases or
sales.

If you're running anti-virus, messenger, games, internet utilities,
microsoft office etc., they are all likely to have at least one
component that conficts with pro audio hardware/software. You would be
surprised what these programs do in the background (even if they are
not open and running). And that's only the software conflicts. There
may be hardware issues as well.

Dynamic mics are typically more sensitive to preamp choices than
condenser mics are. The SD box has Lundahl transformers in it -- many
dynamics sound quite different than they do on a transformerless preamp.

Listen to several if you can.

No sweat. <g willing to try and get your M-Box working for you... but I'm no fan of
XP yet and I've never tried any of the Digi stuff on a Windows platform.

I wish I could say more. If you had been on any version of Windows
other than XP, I might have been able to offer some helpful advice in
troubleshooting the problem.

Yes... and I posted a rather inflammatory response there moments ago.

I suggest not replacing it with anything until you get a grip on using
customer service routes and problem solving in time periods of less
that a year. Sorry
