Hi there,
I was just about to purchase a new Imac and a Motu 828 mk11 (when it becomes available) for use with Logic when I noticed in a review that the iMacs only have firewire 400mbps connections as opposed to 800 on the tower systems. So basically what I need to know is will this be fine - and will I still get the best capabilities from my set-up? I also noticed that the new Imacs don't have usb 2.0 - so wondered if this would cause any problems - I'll be using an emagic Mt4 midi interface as well. many thanks in advance! |

The hope for Firewire is to become the media network standard, so that creative and recreational networks will be simple and with enough capacity to do most a/v tasks. If this pans out, then it would be good foresight to have 800 Firewire. On the other hand, if you have no need of a/v networking over multiple computers and appliances for the moment, then it's no big issue today.
