hi i have a small problem i want ot use my computer as a daw i have got a phonic helix board 24 firewire which is mint for live recording as a band but i want to record one member at a time and the latency is a problem what is the best way to solve it?

I recently got a new computer that didnt have a firewire port on it so I had a Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller put in it. I plugged my PreSonus Firestudio into it and ranCubase LE 4. It worked perfectly fine until my computer randomly restarted.

Here I thought Firewire was the "cats-meow" if you will...but now I hear people complain something about a delay caused by a buffer for midi/audio playback...

If firewire is such a bad thing, what else is there? I know USB 2.0 is fast (not as fast as firewire 800? but everyone seems to use firewire 400?)

Hello all,

Anyone here who knows if the drivers for Aurora8 Firewire Card, XP and Vista is stable?

Hello all.
I am interested in purchase one of these Phonic Helix 18 FireWire Mixers, the MKI version, not the MKII.

I believe that Windows Vista is not supported by the MKI line. But there are drivers available for download for XP.

Since I run Windows Vista, I was thinking I might be able to use the Vista Compatibility Mode tool and use the Windows XP mode.

I did a search on Google and on the site and came up with nothing, so forgive me if this a double post. I am almost positive I have seen the answer but cannot seem to find it.

I am an onetime 2 inch tape time engineer trying to set-up my laptop. I have cubase, asio4all, usb midi keyboard - all running fine. I need some advise on audio recording. I will only record one instrument, or at most a stereo mix, at once. After much research I am still confused but have a couple of ideas of how to proceed.

I hate to be so lame with such a low post count, but... I have an M-Audio Firewire 410. I also have Vista x64. I know, I know, who wants to use Vista for recording. Well the answer is that I do. I really find it weak that an OS that has been out for so long is not supported. I'm not talking about Vista. They don't even have XP x64 drivers. What gives?

Hi folks,

I've been messing around with my new MBox setup w Pro Tools LE 7.4 and have had not much luck in the Digi forums and compatibility req's pages for finding a FW card that I can connect to an external HD for dedicated recording goodness.
