Hey,

I have a client that wants to run a Digi 003 on a new MacBook Pro, only
FW800 on the machine though. I take it he will have to run a FW express
card... any recommendations?

Thanks,

David.

Hi David,
You "should" just need one of these to use the PT system with it.
http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=611&sku=507 05

He might want to do some home work to see if PT 7.4 or even 8 have been tested with these unit models.
It would not shock me at all if Apple and Digi have not tested this yet.

Hmmm... hadn't thought of an 800 to 400 adapter cable... if this won't
work, any cards you would care to recommend?

They are still "testing" mid 2007 release Macbook Pros... they may well
not support the new machines yet...

Thanks,

David.

Cant see why ... It's still basically the same MB as the previous one..as is
the new one, except for the dual video chips.

Hi Martin,

The 17" is still pretty much the same model but the 15' is very very different under the hood.

Cool, thanks Chris,

BTW, I saw one of your boxes at Infocom in the Yamaha booth running
Nuendo... Nice!

HI David,
Oh neat wish I was able to go.
They have been doing a great job of promoting and recommending the systems.
Sure wish they were in charge of Steinberg instead of the Pro Audio division.
:)

Actually, it was the CA division... they had it tied to a PM5D. We
really enjoy dealing with CA... great bunch of people.

Hi David,
Yes CA are the ones we are working with on these. Excellent folks.
It always feels like you dealing with a small Pro Audio company with them not a giant cooperation like the reset on Yammy.
Cubase and Nuendo would have way better exposure if these guys had it but the Byzantine internal politics of Yammy keep that from happening.

Chris
