I use a PowerBook G4/400 MHz and would like to create a home studio. I have a good mic with a jack and intend to buy keyboards with a Midi connection. How do I configure things so that I can use the FireWire port instead of the USB? Does anybody know? I know Yamaha makes an interface but I read that it's not compatible with the G4. Can anyone confirm that?

If you don't have enough to think about with the other posts, here's another. I have been thinking about the same issue for a TiBook and another concern when choosing what hardware you need is what sequencing software you will use. I talked with a guy at Sam Ash music store and he is an EMagic Logic Audio user, which is known to be very good with Mac laptops. He recommended hardware in the e-magic audio line, such as the 2|6 ($350) for analog inputs and the MT4 ($150) for Midi. The benefits of these are that you know that they will work with the software, the latency is adjusted to be as minimal as possible, and it has some really interesting functions that others do not have (the 2|6 has 5:1 surround output for movie soundtracks). Plus they are extremely light and portable - key for laptop users on the go. Mind you I have never tried these but it is another thing to think about.
