Hi all,
Just joined the forum and only 2 weeks reading as much as time permits about VSTi. Hope to get some advice on the following:
1. Correct me if I'm wrong: the current Alesis I/O is USB 1.1 only, right?
2. Is there a USB 2.0 speed replacement? I read that even Mac will dump the firewire interfaces and the new laptop models will only feature USB 2.0 (for reference check M-audio's site). Has USB 1.1 been causing problems so far?
3. Can I record BFD/Toontrack with a host application without buying and external soundcard for my laptop? I have a 4GB RAM, 2GHz Dual Core PC laptop with 500 GB HDD, USB only interfcaces (no PCMCIA, firewire etc). If I definitely need an external sound card can you recommend something? I was thinking about the M-audio Fast Track Ultra card?
Thank you for bearing with my very basic questions!
Best regards!
