I use a PowerBook G4/400 MHz and would like to create a home studio. I have a good mic with a jack and intend to buy keyboards with a Midi connection. How do I configure things so that I can use the FireWire port instead of the USB? Does anybody know? I know Yamaha makes an interface but I read that it's not compatible with the G4. Can anyone confirm that?

I 'm glad that this thing works so well but I didn't think I was going to run into such megabucks land as you guys obviously live in... I'm just a beginner so I 'm not gonna spend millions on softs or hardware - I just want to have fun (I'm blond and a girl, so that makes sense, right?). I've got free softs from magazines and Internet and I just need time to work out how best to input and work on REAL percussion (Algerian, Morrocan, Egyptian..) and vocals so we can all make music and put it out on the Net for you to enjoy. But no way am I gonna invest at this stage. I don't take myself that seriously and I hope I never will... What about FireWire? Isn't there any way to get vocals and keyboards onto the TiBook using this port? That was and still is my question.
