rme vs motu
You can actually throw this in between the fireface and the MBP and it will work fine, it's a problem with the new macs firewire chipset not RME cards.marcneyen wrote:don't trust the guy at the shop, bought recently a new mac as well and that problem the rme 400 has with the fw chip used on some macs happened to me as well.workaround on the new macbook pro is to get an express card 34 that adds fw 400 to the laptop. for more info read the loooong story on the rme forum.

Apple should of stuck with Texas Instruments firewire instead of going with LSI Agere. (there's a new LSI Agere chipset that will be in the newer built laptops but nobodies got one of these yet)
I have an RMEFireface400 with my pc laptop I can get down to 64 samples in Ableton and the thing doesn't burp

If you only use virtual instruments and never record hardware instruments you don't need a full fledged audio interface. I'd would just look for a high quality soundcard.Brankis wrote:sorry if i ask a dumb question here but what would the advantage be of having something like an RME if you are doing all production in the box. is it mostly just valuable for recording external gear or are there other benefits? im also interested in this card as i hear about it constantly

low latency? solid hardware? those are 2 things that i'm looking for right now. I'm sick of my soundcards and all their glitches.Brankis wrote:sorry if i ask a dumb question here but what would the advantage be of having something like an RME if you are doing all production in the box. is it mostly just valuable for recording external gear or are there other benefits? im also interested in this card as i hear about it constantly
