Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 17" MacbookPro maxed out with 2Gb RAM for use with the new Cubase4 Studio and Kontakt2 sampler + various other VST Instruments.. Spectrasonics, Latigo etc.. I also have an MAudio FW410 interface which I currently use on my G4 Powerbook.. it doesn't give me any problems - as long as I have nothing else connected to either the FW400 or 800 buss. My question is, are the fw400 and 800 connections on the MacbookPro on seperate busses, or the same? As I want to go for the faster 100Gb internal drive (7200rpm) I may need to also buy an external 7200rpm FW800 drive to accomodate all my project data.. samples , audio etc.. obviously, if I did this I wouldn't be able to run the MAudio interface reliably if the 800 bus was being shared or 'seen' by the 400 buss.. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.. Thx |

LaCie Little Big Disk - fast enough!
Myself and a friend use the firmtek with powered FW800 drives, works well! Spectrasonics - RMX is Intel ready, Atmos & Trilogy not until the fall. In fact check that all the software you want to use is Intel raedy (Universal Binary). I've ordered the Sonnettech R400Q, buying drives from Overclockers, that plus Macbook Pro is a well speedy system! I hope... |
