hi all,
I kind off decided to by a new powerbook g4 1.25mhz running dp4 with the motu828mkII replacing my old G4 350mhz with digi001. Since the internal hard disk of the powerbook runs at slower speed someone adviced me to record thru firewire on an external hard drive running at 7200. my question is ; is this really advicable and more shouldnt be there any latency of any kind when you record thru a firewirebased interface (828mk) to an external hard drive also connected thru firewire ? Thanks in advance Rose |

Generally speaking no.
The order in wich you daisy-chain the fw-inteface and the external hd - may be important - motu has recommendation for this. Latency is mostly related to the buffer settings in the audio hardware setup within DP-4. Also softsynths and virtual instruments has a bearing on the latency issues. You may want to check the Unicornation bbs for threads on problems -- users of TI-Books been having with DP-4. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
