The Mac is here.
The Interface is here.
The Mics are here.
The Software has been downloaded.
Now for the business cards and slight site re-design. Gotta get the business in business.
One thing that’s been bugging me, though… my Mac Pro (and all Macs sold now, I guess) are now full-on using Firewire 800 (otherwise known as 1394b). You’d think they’d offer, you know, an adapter or cable to help EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO IS STILL USING FW 400, but no. Nope, no such adapter even exists in my city. If I want to order one (and I’d actually prefer two), I have to pay ridiculous shipping. Therefore, I guess it comes down to me buying and installing a FW 400 PCI-e card.
I’ve missed owning a tower.

Yes! I can’t wait to jump in, and get my hands dirty (in the digital sense, of course).
One thing that’s bugging me… and I’ve updated my post instead of replying.

Don’t get me started, I could gripe for hours about the way Apple has treated FW400.
Add to that, my Ultralite likes to flake out – requiring a reboot – from time to time, and I’m not very confident to run FW on stage. I haven’t decided what I’ll go with, but I want something reliable for performing from my laptop.

So, I went back to Staples and The Source for a PCI-e FW 400 card… NONE!
What was fortunate and weird is that, just that day, Staples received one (1) 6′ FW400-800 cable.
For $60. Ah well, business expense. Firestudio is working like a charm now.
