When looking for an audio input card of any sort for a Mac Mini should i look for a USB 2 device or a Firewire device? Frankly i'm not sure if there is much of a difference or which is faster.
Thanks -------------------- |

QUOTE (_T2k_ @ Feb 13 2005, 02:58) QUOTE (shaneblyth @ Feb 11 2005, 00:19) yes 800 is faster BUT 400 is alot faster too.. but if you read the article it is a no brainer... if it was just midi it would make no difference but with anything like audio evn firewire 400 is way way faster It's just plain wrong . Threre many cases when USB is way faster - there's no obvious answer. A simple hard drive can be faster on USB already. Stop confusing people, please. and what do you base this on...? I base it on research posted on numerous sites comparing all forms of USB Firewire on any from a hard drive to opther periperals. I have not seen ANY reseach done that shows the contrary.. did you look at the link I posted? that was just one of many out there.. please post the sites with comparisons that show what you say to be true please... I wouls appreciate reading and comparin them to the sites I have been pointwed to by some who are alot more of an expert that i am.. thanks |
