So, I am using MixCraft 4.0 on my notebook PC and I have a 3 PORT FIREWIRE PCMCIA Adapter and I cannot figure out weather MixCraft is compatible with this kind of setup.

The reason I just can't test it is because I dont yet have the hardware. I have ordered a PreSonus 1394 FireWire Audio Interface:

Ok, so I have a notebook pc that DOES NOT have a FireWire port in it... I would much prefer FireWire over USB so I was wondering if they make some sort of Ethernet > Firewire adapter?

Just wondering between Firewire 400 and 800 what most people have connected and currently using and any specific conclusion or opinions on either.
Also like to know if you use your onboard FW connector or if you use a separate PCI or PCIe card slot FW port.
And lastly does anyone know a way to test the speed or determine the speed of the FW connection.

opinion / recommendation needed -

I have a Mackie onyx firewire 1220 mixer. I also have an 8 channel mic /pre unit that I run through the 1220.

I rarely use the 1220 to it's full capacity as a mixer and am thinking about replacing the 1220 with a firewire interface to run my mic / pres through.

Can someone suggest a good firewire interface on a chepish budget. Thank you.

hey could someone give me the specifications for a good reliable firewire external hard drive?
i read it before on here but its so hard to find one post on this site.
cheers

i remember,,,,, i think someone saying it has to be 7200rpm

but not sure of any other specifics,,,,,,that said would a 800rpm not work properly?

Sorry for the new thread but I didn't want to waste the whole night trying to find the applicable thread.

I am giving up on Pro Tools (which I like) and M-Audio (which I can no longer rely on) and I want to switch over to either Logic Express 8.0 and/or Propellerhead's new Record suite.

Hello. Just got my sm57 and ready to buy a half decent interface. Pretty simple question.. what is better.. by how much.. why? The m audio seems to go for cheaper.. but maybe this is for a reason? Thanks in advanced! 8)

hey everybody.

I just bought the Fireface 800. I bought it used so it came with nothing. Will just plain old firewire work for this or do I need the firewire 400 or 800? I have a laptop. I won't be doing video or anything, at least until I figure this thing out.
Thanks.
