And regarding your firewire, you're going to need an add-in card (either PCI-E or Cardbus) which plugs into a slot on your laptop and provides you with a firewire interface. Find out what kind of card slot you have, then you'll know what you need to get for your firewire card.
I haven't been online in a while, but I discovered the issue with firewire. I have no cardslot on my pc. I actually returned the used unit and picked up an m-audio interface for usb. I've started recording using protools essentials. It's ok so far, but I'm still learning the program. I've been told to upgrade to a better version of protools, but I want to learn the program a little better first. My only issue so far is the compression. In past years I used an analog compression on my tracks. I'm not finding the plug-in compression to be as effective. We'll see how it goes. My biggest problem is finding the time to play around with it!
