Recording With Multiple Audio/MIDI Sources into Logic Pro X?

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question about inputs with Logic Pro X.

So I would like to record a few microphones through my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP, thru Firewire into my Macbook Pro. Then, I want to record MIDI drums from my Alesis DM8 Pro, by USB, into the computer.

Need USB Audio/MIDI interface for Mac/Logic

I've been using digirack 002 through firewire 400 for years and been working fine on macbook pros but being a mac buff, I'm going to want a newer macbook pro eventually, which means no firewire 400. Definitely not the only one with this problem. But at the same time, I'm getting sick of digidesign's core audio problems and updating indifference.

Playing audio/midi tracks live

I hope this is the right forum, if not maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm only researching at this point so I can't tell you what gear I use, because I don't have it yet. But, what I'm hoping to do is record a combination of MIDI and Audio tracks on a computer to be used as backing tracks for live performance. (I perform solo and in a duo).

laptop audio/midi interface (PMCIA or USB?)

i am triggering theater sound effects and musical interludes during live performances and I would like to bring my laptop into the picture. I want to trigger the fx via midi keyboard and have a better quality audio OUT than the stock sound card

would you use a PMCIA card type interface or a USB type?
the smaller the device the better.

thanks
dave

Matching tempo to audio/midi

I am using Cubase SE and I would like to know how to match the tempo of my project to one of my audio tracks. It sounds like there is a 'timewarp' function that will do this in Cubase SX, but is there any way of doing this in SE? In short, I would like to make 1 bar = the length of one of my audio objects without altering the audio object.
