need firewire on laptop-dont have it

Ive been recording for about 9 years and use a desktop. My pc is a workhorse but I need to have mobility

Just got a quad core laptop with a ton of ram, more than capable of handling recording but they dont make laptops these days with firewire, mainly cuz its not a highly used consumer input...

I use a Focusrite saffire pro 24 channel recorder

Recording help

me and my friends are in a small band and have started to do some home recording. The gear we have is 16 input mixer, 4 dynamics, 1 condenser, 2 shotgun (used on drums), 5 drum mics, 2 guit, 1 bass. We are not short for cash but also need new cables. We would like for the drum set to make a 20-25 foot snake. This would free up the cables we need. This is my main question.

Good gear

Heyy guys I'm new here, but I'm in need of some help, and the forums are a great place to start! i have an old multitrack recorder which is awesome for laying stuff down just to remember them, but i need the real deal now, i have mics and stuff, but what do i need to basically have myself a studio set up, as in pro tools mixer etc. what are somethings i need to look for, and where do i start?

XLR stuck in input

I own a Tascam US-2000 and an XLR cord that I own is stuck in the frong XLR/Instrument combo jack. I've had several people look at it, I also took the top off and there seems to be no way to get it unstuck. The cable still works but I want it out, at this point, I don't care if I break it. Anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Setting speaker height and EQ for a venue

I would just like to get an opinion on how different sound engineers determine the correct height for the speakers when setting up in different venues?

When a system is EQ'd before an event and the levels are adjusted for each input, how do you compensate for changes in room dynamics further into the event i.e. more people filling the room and the temperature increasing?

Upgrading my home recording equipment, Tips for keeping it cheap?

As i'm sure has been brought up here the basic Macbook which i currently use no longer has a firewire input. This is a problem i haven't had a problem with as an LE w/MBox home recording system. But now that i'm looking for work a higher level of professionalism is required in my home mixing and recording.
