Hi,
I am going to buy the TASCAM FW 1082, becasue I don't have the money to buy the M-Audio Project Mix.
I need to record a band live with 8 tracks that will be recorded in my computer through the firewire as 8 independent sound tracks in the Cubase SW that comes with the system. I have read in several places that I need to have a bigger 6-pin Firewire card in my computer in order to do so. I can't understand that point because I thought the 4 pin small connector was exactly the same and had the same bandwitdth.
Do you know if I can use my 4-pin computer FW port or do I need to add a FW board cost to my budget? I have a single 4-pin firewire port in my computer.
Thanks very much
Arturo
