Subject: RE: Recording onto a computer.
Not the new Macbook (which came out in November this year). No Firewire on it at all.

Firewire is now the preserve of the Macbook Pro.

It never occurred to me to check before I bought. I just assumed that it would because my old one did. Once I noticed, I still figured there'd be some kind of converter plug out there. So I merrily went ahead and migrated all my old files across. But there isn't. So I no longer use a firewire soundcard and had to buy a USB one. Thanks Apple!

I did at least upgrade to a MOTU soundcard with a lot of inputs. So now at least if I ever want to record a full band I can.
