Hello guys,
If I use the FW16E Expansion kit, can I use it if my PC/tablet doesn’t have an FW port, but just a USB port?
Best regards |

For those who have a Mac with a Thunderbolt port, Apple sells an adapter that does actually convert to FW and will work with the FW16E. Otherwise, your laptop PC would need to be able to accept a FireWire PCMCIA or ExpressCard. |

Will FW to Thunderbolt adapters still permit full output functionality into Cubase or other DAWs? |

From a hardware standpoint, the Apple adapters apparently work fine, with full functionality. However, There may be driver issues with macOS Catalina, although not with earlier versions… |
