[G4] RE: one more question-audio

[shopdog]

I also have found my G4 desktop audio cards, and indeed, even my 
Powerbook G4 built-in audio components to be more than adequate for 
home use (for 2-channel simultaneous analog input).  I have not 
purchased a third party card.

The Mac is very audio-production friendly out of the box.  Even more so 
now with OS 10.
