Notebook Firewire Card
I have not been active in recording for awhile. Now my son and his friend are resurrecting our studio. I want to upgrade my Sonar to X1, but it doesn’t appear that my workstation will meet the specs. It’s a Xeon 3.4 Ghz, with 2 gigs memory. We have an alternative. My son has a laptop that I think meets the specs, it has an I3 processor. The problem is that it doesn’t have a firewire port. Do any of you know if there is firewire card or USB2.0 to firewire adaptor that will work well? I hate to spring for a new computer right now, especially considering that a lot of my really good gear is outboard equipment. I just bought a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 as my interface. I don't plan on running Sonar as my main mixing platform at the moment. I will probably track to my external Hard Disk recorder, dump the project into Sonar for tweaking and then fly it back to the recorder for final mixdown.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
