Build a Mondo Audio Interface-for Free
Got an extra computer audio interface lying around? If you're running Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you can aggregate the interface with other audio devices (USB, FireWire, PCI, or built-in) into one giant combination interface. I've used this trick to run two USB mics at once. I also created a quadraphonic speaker system by aggregating a Zoom H2 recorder (in USB interface mode) with my Mac's built-in audio output and making the H2 the master clock. That let me hear the Hs2's 4-channel recordings in glorious surround.
To aggregate audio devices, plug them all in and open Audio MIDI Setup [in the Applications > Utilities folder of your start up disk]. Select Open Aggregate Device Editor from the Audio menu. Click on "+" to create a new device, and check off the I/O you want. [...]
