Re: mac recording question

[Travis Hartnett <travishartnett@gmail.com>]

Well, it depends.  The quality of the audio in port (I'm assuming
you're talking about one of the stereo miniplug mic in connectors) is
acceptable for most people.  Your USB interface may, or may not
present a higher quality set of inputs and d/a convertors.

However, if you're having USB audio problems--are you using USB v1, or
a USB PCI card by chance?  Early or non-native USB setups have been
known to be problematic.
