I am trying to input my dats to the computer, so I
bought a Edirol FA-66 firewire device. Doesn't seem to
want to work properly with my emac (osx10.3..9,
800mhzPowerPCG4). I searched around the net and found
a lot of others had problems with the Apple drivers. 

I get a signal to the computer, I can see the meters
moving in the Sound preferences input, but there's no
sound from the speakers (they are set for onboard
audio output). Can't record in Sound Studio either,
even though the input is set to this device. Recording
with line In and Microphone work fine though.  Anyone
else had any experience with this problem?
thank you,
Mike Parker

although i've never heard these blips (i know my linux burner s/w
xcdroast/cdrecord fixes them during burn, and i suppose my windows
nero does it to) here is what i use, for linux:

wav:
files="${*:-*.wav}"
shntool fix -o wav -s b $files
rename '-fixed' '' $files

flac:
flac --sector-align --delete-input-file $files

for windows you can use shntool and with flac frontend just
be sure the sector-align box is checked

Updating. I got very good recommendations from Michael Mayer and
Stephen Bezruchka.

They both recommend the Edirol R-09, and Michael suggested the Zoom
H4, which seems to gather the best things in all portable units I
looked into: the M-Audio 24/96, the Marantz PMD660 and the Edirol
R-09. The price is even the lowest!

It's not out yet, but B&H is already accepting orders.

Thanks for the feedback.


Carlos
