Inexpensive USA Audio Interfaces with DP4

I'm trying to choose an inexpensive USB Audio Interface for a high school lab running DP4. I've been looking at the Edirol UA-1X and the Griffin iMic. (Wish we could afford better, but that's public education!) I know the iMic works with DP - does the Edirol? Any recommendations? Is the Edirol worth twice as much $?

Thanks for any help or advice!

whatever you do don't get the Edirol UA-20.
unless you are also in need of a shiny doorstop.

after the UA-20 fiasco (that's what you get when you try to cheap out) i got a Tascam US-224. i was very happy with it for a long time, not Hi Fi that's for sure but it gets the job done.

i never used it with DP though, i was using the horrendous Cubase at the time, so i can't vouch for it on OSX and DP.

cheers!

SHould be plug and play. Just select it in your audio hardware setup. Works great with my laptop.

I did but I get an error message, something about needing to configure the coreAudio?

Did you go into Audio/MIDI Setup and see if the iMic shows up? There may also be a driver online.

yes, iMac shows up, but when I select it, I receive a message: need to configure coreaudio to accept two channels. I dunno, sheesh.

Wow. I always thought that the UA-20 was one of the most stable USB devices around!

My main units are a 2408mk3 and RME HDSP, but I also keep a UA-20 as an emergency unit because it's stable and quick to set up.

Tascam US122 was my first interface, and it was halfway decent... $199. Two XLR ins, phantom power, and MIDI.
