I am currently considering a new digital interface for recording. I am looking at several different products such as [="http://www.PreSonus.com PreSonus[/]="http://www.PreSonus… PreSonus[/] and [[url=http://="http://www.www.Tasc… Tascam[/]="http://www.www.Tasc… Tascam[/]. The PreSonus unit I am looking at is Firewire based and the Tascam is USB. The PreSonus is nice in that you can keep adding units to increase capabilities. I usually think of Firewire as being Mac based, but I see that they have Firewire cards for PC laptops. Does anyone have any experience using Firewire on a PC, and how well does it work?

I had a real problem finding a new PC laptop with a motherboard that would accept a FireWire card, so I just picked up a real nice notebook sized laptop. It has 8G memory and a 750 HD running an i5. It works great with my music editing and I will be going for a USB interface.

My firwire works great on my home-made PC. It's not a laptop, though, is that's what you are asking about.
Can you roll your own DAW? It's not that hard anymore. You just need to spec out the parts. I can PM you some recommends if you want. You'll get a vastly superior DAW if you roll your own. Custom made for your exact purposes.

So long as the card has a texas intstruments chipset, you should be ok.
