Subject: [LUG] FireWire MetricHalo & MacBook (Pro?)
Message #214923
Hi. I'm trying to decide between the MacBook and MacBook Pro. My biggest issue is with the FireWire bus. I'll be using a Metric Halo 2882 +dsp on the FireWire bus so my only options for external drive on the MacBook would be if it's daisy-chained to the sound card or connected through USB 2.0. I understand that the USB 2.0 is not implemented well enough on Macs (it is slower than FW400 on my PowerBook) and I'm wondering whether the FireWire bus won't be "too busy" with the Metric Halo box connected to it directly, to perform well in situations where the external hard drive is working "hard". Can anybody shed more light on this? Also, how important are the graphics card and video memory, in which the MB Pro is superiour, to someone who will only use his machine for Logic Pro and other audio-only applications? ::: ::: ::: Thanks, Aviad ----------------------------------------------------------------- LUG Group Buy for Serato's Pitch n' Time LE until June 14th!
