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?

Hi Synthetic,
It's a shame you can't laugh at yourself as much as I apparently can. You don't have to be defensive to a stranger you'll never meet. It's a pity you don't have the system you would really like but I'm sure if you really put your mind to it you'll find a way to obtain it. Like i said, I just want to have fun. I'm surrounded by talented, creative musicians (and i happen to be one of them) but we are less dedicated to transmitting as to MAKING music. None of us is a technician. My plan is to share what we create with the whole world, via Internet, for free. I'd like you to be able to dance to our rythmes, be moved by our words and feel life within you while you still can. I did not intend to offend. Please don't take a stranger's words to heart, but we simply don't have the money. My computer is not mine, the company I work for bought it - so I'd like to use it. Simple. Enjoy your life. And try laughing instead of being so serious. It makes all the difference. All the best for your musical future. Tiloop. ps if you do happen to come across less expensive FireWire interfaces, I'd still appreciate it... |
