Solution to not enough USB ports on Macbook pro?
First of all I'm sure this is a very common issue that people have figured out how to work around, but I'm not having any luck.
So I've got a new retina Macbook pro. It comes with 2 USB3 ports and 2 Thunderbolt ports. Thing is, I need to plug in: -iLok -Apogee duet 2 -external hard drive (which is USB) -a mouse (not mandatory but would prefer for editing) That's 4 USB ports. I have 2, and these super fast thunderbolt ports that nothing will connect to. My first thought was that there must be adapters for USB into Thunderbolt, but all I found was very expensive. I started looking at USB hubs, but further research was confusing as to whether it was ok to use a hub when dealing with audio interfaces and the hard drive that I'm planning on recording directly to. I know something works and that there's many many people out there running protools on their macbook pro. Please share the working formula! Thank you |
