Hello,
As my main recording comp is down & going off for repairs I've been looking at my laptop as an interim unit. I already have a little Behri USB external soundcard unit (little $50 thing) but having been put in the situation of needing something reasonable I sussed out the Firewire capability of the thing. The laptop has a 4 pin firewire connection.
Most firewire audio seems to be 6 pin. Are there any 4 pin units?
I noticed, whilst searching, that 6 to 4 & visa versa adaptors exist. What sort of impact do these have on audio devices?
I guess I'm really after some directio as to whether to bothe with 4 pin tecnology, go to USB or wait until my main unit comes back.
Any ideas?
