 Besides, I am using Sonar 8.5 on a home built rig running Windows 7 and it has never given me any issue what-so-ever. I'm sure one day I will look into recording on my MacBook if I ever need a portable DAW.

In general, most win machines only have FW400 ports while Macs have FW 800 ports. It is backwards compatible, so you should just need an adapter to connect to your Mac. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |

I built that Windows DAW and added a FW PCI card. However, what you are saying makes sense to me. Did Apple design the FW port to begin with? I never looked into it but always assumed they did. I think my first iPod was FW. I think most of the multi-track audio interface units are designed with FW instead of USB. Some have their own PCI card with a huge ten thousand pin cable, but i can record and play back up to 24 tracks simultaneously with one FW connection. Ill never figure out how! 17" MacBook Pro Iphone 4S 64gb iPad 1 and 3rd generation, both 16gb Wi-Fi, 3 or 4 iPods around here somewhere and 4 very reliable home-built Windows boxes |

Alway's use my Mac(s) for recording and so-forth. MOTU is my main-stay as I've been using there software and devices for more than a decade so it just makes since for me. Last edited by bobtomay; 08-14-2012 at 07:59 PM. Reason: removed "all" bold |
