Re: Replacing M-Box 1 for FireWire solution
Why not daisychain from the 003?

Re: Replacing M-Box 1 for FireWire solution
Never thought of that... I only have 1 FireWire device at the moment... to be honest, I didn't even know it was possible... That would maybe then be the solution? Mac -> 003 -> FW HDD, all through FireWire and no more USB [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]...? Or am I being too happy too soon? |

I don't know if you have access to one, but testing one of your current sessions with a firewire interface would tell you a lot. You could just bring your laptop into the store, connect it to a firewire interface and fire it up. |

Re: Replacing M-Box 1 for FireWire solution
If you are going to daisy chain you should run it Mac->FW400->003, that way if you drop connection from the 003, your hard drive will stay connected. If you run it the other way around, when the 003 loses connection it will essentially unplug the hard drive with it, which can kill a HD or corrupt data.
You could also get a express34 card with some FW400 plugs on it. Hope that helps

You shouldn't need to do anything other than connect the interface. Pro Tools LE supports all LE interfaces with the version you're running...

Re: Replacing M-Box 1 for FireWire solution
I've just researched other options on the digidesign website and found the M-Box 2 Pro also uses FireWire... a little cheaper, just as powerful for my needs, which are recording vocals and (electric/acoustic) guitars and saxophones... thanks!
