FireWire Card for Liquid Mix?

Hi
I read a lot about a firewire card for the express slot, to use LM well.
So, I will buy a new MacBook or MacBook Pro. But I like the small inch versions. But the 13" MacBook doesn´t have this slot. Only the MacBook Pro 15" which I don´t realy want.
Are there any other options to run LM smooth.
Thanks for tips
Martin

I have no Interface running on my fireport. But 2 HardDisk. One of them I could disconect. But the other I´ll need, cause the AppleLoops and all the sessions are stored on this HD. Would a firewire hub runs well?
I really would like to have the 13".
My use interal audio or my Mbox which is using the USB-Port.
Thanks
Martin

  • PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

    1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
    2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

    pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
    If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
    Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
    I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
    I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

    ps
    When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
    This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
    I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.

  • FireWire card for Slimline s5123w desktop

    I was wondering if it was possible to add a FireWire card to this computer. I recently purchased one (made sure it was a low profile one as well) but it would not fit in the only open prong thing.

    I, too, have been looking for a FireWire card for my Slimline s5120y desktop.  I just spent 35 minutes on the phone, talking to 7 people from HP and no one could help me.
    I purchased a low-profile card, but it still did not fit.  I was told I had to go directly to the manufacturer.  Not much luck...
    Did you find a place to purchase this card?

  • USB and Firewire Card for Mac Pro 3.0

    I am running out of USB and Firewire Ports. Any suggestions on expansion cards for Firewire and USB??
    Thanks
    John

    The Sonnet PCI USB Express cards have this problem too - for the record. Sonnet know about the MacPro not waking with it installed, as do Apple. I am sure Apple willl come up with something, I may even find a workaround, but it has always seemed that expansion cards with all my Macs [ waaaay too many] have produced unpredicatable problems.

  • Firewire Card for H8-1256s desktop

    Hello - I want to download videos from my camcorder and learned that my HP H8-1256s desktop does not have an IEEE 1394 firewire port. I was told I need a standard IEEE-1394 OHCI compliant firewire card. I have a couple of expansion slots available. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit. Can I install a firewire card? Which one should I buy and is it pretty simple? Thanks for your advice.

    Be careful to pick a card that does not require a separate power connection for 12V.  I had gotten the Rosewill card that needs that and it would not work without getting some adapter cables to let me connect a spare hard drive power connector to the old style molex connector on the Rosewill card.  Rather than do that, I just got a different 1394 card that was able to pull 12V from the PCI bus cardslot.  The adapter cards are cheap.  I also have a thread down below where I routed the 1394 connection to my front panel for a very clean and professional looking installation.  That is probably more work than necessary, but my machine was new and I wasn't ready to live with plugging it in from the back.
    The Rosewill RC-504 linked above is the one that needs MOLEX power connections to work.  The one I got that worked like a charm was this one:

  • Best Firewire card for PC?

    Hi Folks. What would all of you suggest as the best PCI Firewire card out there for a PC? Mine only has one port working and I need at the very least 2. So, I will be ordering one pretty soon.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    VG

    To add a resource to this thread: http://www.firewiredirect.com/store/home.php
    I've bought many cards from this source (all sorts of configurations), and they have been a pleasure to deal with. Their prices seem fair, but I usually shop for product specs. and good service, before price.
    They offer some configurations, that I do not see from most card mfgrs. and several of these have fit my particular needs perfectly. Ease of ordering in nice, shipping always quick, but I've never had any problems, so I do not know about returns - would guess that they are good, but just have never had to return anything.
    I also recommend the FW-800 connections, as does Chuck. If one's BIOS can work with IEEE-1394b, and so can one's peripherals, it is a really fast connection.
    One comment on multiple devices on one FW connection: I have had great luck piggybacking (both FW-800 & 400) for HDDs. Though I have never experienced a problem, I do not do this for any camera, A->D converter, or even external DVD burners. OK, I did piggyback an external burner, with no problems once, or twice, but do not do this on a regular basis.
    Luckily my workstation has 4 separate FW busses on the MoBo and I use one of the FW-800 cards (from above source) for those 1394b connections. Never a complaint on any from a wide array of peripherals.

  • Firewire card for TouchSmart 610

    I am considering buying a TouchSmart 610. I have some hardware that uses firewire. Are there any PCIe firewire cards that can be installed in the TouchSmart to provide a firewire port?
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for confirming that. I'm disappointed - I have a video camera with a DV interface that I would not be able to use with a Touchsmart.
    Seems like most of the current crop of All-In-One systems are coming without firewire these days. Is that interface dropping off the scene?

    Hi
    As far I know its possible to use 2 x PCMCIA cards Type II and 1 x PCMCIA card Type III. Furthermore the PCMCIA port supports 16 and 32 bit cards.
    You can use the USB 2.0 + FireWire 1394 Combo PCMCIA Card like this one:

    Of course you can also try to use another one.

  • Firewire Card Recommendation for Duende and/or Ensemble

    I am in the process of moving from a PPC to a Quad core 3.0 machine. Can anyone recommend a PCIE firewire card for running the Duende or the Apogee card?
    I'm looking for something with 800 and 400 ports.
    I've loaded this machine up with 16gb ram and 4 drives, is there anything I need to know as far as tweaks, any specific pcie slot to install the fw card as well as a UAD2 card?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I don't know about Ensemble or Duende but my Motu works on a LeCie D2 connected to the FW800 port of my G5 without problems...
    seems to be more faster... but in any case just an adapter to be sure about stay close to FW800 commectors.
