How well does this work with a mac? I'm torn between this and the Scarlett 212 but I read Scarlett has mac compatibility issues. True?

Can't speak to Scarlett since I don't have one. My 22VSL works fine on my Mac.

I sue this interface on my Mac Book Air and it works flawlessly with the included Studio One software which is one of the best DAW's available. This interface is clean, quiet, and is well suited for professional applications. My only issue was that I wish I had opted for the step up and gotten the 4 input XLR version. Never the less, I am more than happy with my Persons purchase and will be a customer for a very long time.

Presonus works great with a Mac; I haven't had any problems. Good audio quality and easy to use.

Don't have a Mac, so can't help. BTW, I too liked the Scarlett, but at the time it didn't have MIDI ports. The Presonus has been great though.

Using it on my Mac Mini with Mavericks and the latest version of Audacity. Works great. Get the software from http://audacity.sourceforge.net. It's open source; no charge.

I don't have MAC so I can not tell from experience. You would have to install software Audacity (check: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). On its website it says they have MAC version.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

I use my to record to my Mac but I also have and M-AUDIO FatTrack Pro mixer and a PreSonuys Tube Prev2 amp to supply more power to the mic. Sorry it took my awhile to get back to you!

Should work with a Mac. Is always a pair. Though there are better speakers for the money today.

Do not have Mac. Will not venture a guess. I use on a Desktop PC. They're wonderful. Great sound.

I have no problem with audio when using mine. But then again I don't have an iMac. If your iMac has the proper port then I'm sure you will have no issues with audio. You may need to select "sounds & devices" (or whatever it may be called on yours, and switch your audio output to HDMI which is what I had to do at first. Some computer models won't recognize the adapter as a default audio output device, so you will have to manually change it.

Works great with pc. I dont know about mac, but definitely a great product.

I don't know if it works with a Mac, but I don't see why not. If a Mac has a single input hole for speakers, this will work. Mind you, these are not the greatest pair of speakers. They are good for the price, but I would not use them to listen to music.

We have ours hooked up to a Mac, and have had no problems at all. Very pleased!

I had nothing but problems with this turntable and Sony Customer Service, I finally returned the turntable and purchased the Audio Technica AT-LP120USB...The Audacity software works with both MAC's and PC's. The Audio Technica is about $100 more, but the additional features are well worth the added cost. On Sale now at Amazon for $249+ free shipping.

I didn't get any special sound card. I am running mine on a MAC desktop that is about 2 years old, sounds great. So I guess it depends how old your computer is.

You need: 1. An interface (sometimes called a soundcard) you can plug the mic cable into and then goes into a Mac USB port. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a good one ($125 to $150 new). 2. Recording software (Audacity is free, Reaper is $60, Twisted Wave is $79). 3. The XLR mic cable mentioned above. Any of the above will give you excellent sound quality.

Absolutely! Your operating system simply "sees" it as as audio device like it would another microphone or audio input device. I have successfully used the Scarlett with Linux, Mac and Windows.

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it
