[linux-audio-user] Re: Firewire sound - which HW?

[jan]

Just back from abroad - thanks, everybody who replied. So firewire isn't 
really the way forward, it would seem. First time I thought about this 
everybody seemed to say 'RME Hammerfall'; but then my pet-musician 
explained that 'the only proper way' was something with tape-reels and 
valve-amplifiers, but if I must use a computer it should be Macintosh 
and something with Firewire. I have never used Macintosh, and probably 
never will (being a UNIX person), and since I not a musician myself, I 
thought I'd better ask somebody whom I assume would know better.

Really? Would you care to elaborate? Not that I am adverse to insulting 
people, but I didn't intend to this time.
