hi all
so i have a desk / midi controller with fire wire out and a laptop with usb in. if i buy a fire wire to usb cable will this work or is the information transmitted differently?
any help with this would be great thanks in advance
as long as you have external power the new FW2usb lead should work ok, firewires generally use a separate power source on the motherboard from usb controllers. which is why (in the past ) producers used firewire, because usb's can drain power and cause feedback.
if it doesnt work smash it up and blame the robots.
