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?

well if you are not going to spend money... then you are not going to be using firewire.... as I mentioned the MOTU 828 is FIREWIRE INTERFACE (must be a blonde thing). If you are not willing to invest any money.... I suggest you think about recording through a plain talk microphone.... quality won't be the greatest but if you want quality.... YOU GOT TO PAY FOR IT.
This is my last post to this topic because it has now become irritating. And no I don't live in MEGABUCKS LAND.... its called working hard for a living and priorities which for some of us is music unlike yourself. If I were as rich as you imply... I would have a full blown ProTools TDM system instead of the smaller limited system I have now. -------------------- ----------------------------------------
