 PCI vs. Firewire
I am not a techi, just a guitarist looking to save money from a studio hourly rate, and produce quality music.
A friend of mine came by yesterday and was telling me that a pci card is far better than a firewire, and that the usb2 is faster than the firewire.
I am very confused at this point, as I just purchased the firestudio project and thought I was getting a nice interface, now, as it hasnt arrived yet, am worried that it wont improve over the interface that I have now, which is a usb2.
The main issue that I have with the interface that I have been using is that the latency is horrible. As I do everything myself, multitrack recording is what I use, not a band all at once, at this point. As such, I depend on playback to play to, and the latency turned this bad.
So,,, will what I have work? You may need to know that my cpu is a 3.0, 1gig of ram. I am considering bumbping the ram to 2 sticks of 2 gigs each.
