Piggy Backing firewire drive on a Traveler with a powerbook

Post by shallowlikeyourbreath »

I currently use a digi 002r for live backing tracks and piggy back my glyph off of it with no problem, wondering if anyone has done this with a traveler interface? im only running like 5-6 tracks of audio live.

You should be fine. I've recorded at least 12 tracks onto a firewire hard drive chained through an 896 and a Traveller.

You could also get a FW PCMCIA card off of eBay for less than $25 shipped. That's what I did for my PB (15" 1.5GHz). I run my 828mkii through the card and a Glyph D2 drive via FW800.
