I was two seconds away from pulling the trigger on
Mackie 1220i
Mackie Control Universe
iMAC 27inch
Logic Pro X
All the rest of the gear I have from years of VS recording in my home studio.
I look over the specs on the Apple product and find that both the iMAC and MAC Pro only have USB3 and Thunderbolt cable ports. No longer do they have Firewire.
They have FireWire to Thunderbird adapters, but using an adapter on music production is a bad idea. Those adapters get very low ratings online because they don't seem to work worth a damn.
Now what the heck do I do. I want to stick with MAC since "It just works" and not be dogged down with a PC constantly trying to upgrade. The outboard gear manufacturers are slow at producing Thunderbolt ports, so I'm kinda in a holding pattern.
Any Thoughs?
