lord funk posted:as a pro-level user, i have no idea what those benefits could be. my usb rme interface is just as capable as my fw rme interface, and it doesn't need an adapter in the past it was latency. firewire had waaaay lower latency than early usb audio interfaces, especially when you started piling on large numbers of channels. plus it could be daisy chained, allowing for simple pass-trough of multiple interfaces that's less of an issue now, but all the recording greybeards are used to the way things used to work

I have a passive Thunderbolt->HDMI adapter to use my Macbook Air with an external monitor and about 10% of the time when I wake it from sleep it fucks up and won't properly detect it. Thanks Apple!!!

apple makes good decisions when it comes to their I/O unfortunately the rest of the industry just buys whatever the cheapest poo poo at the annual computer trade show is but pro users will buy Mac for thunderbolt or firewire, so who's laughing now

PleasureKevin posted:apple makes good decisions when it comes to their I/O Yes, Apple making retarded poo poo that isn't compatible with the rest of the country & world is good, but only in that it makes people like you spend more money on dongles for your $2000 laptop that is about as usable and feature complete as a $400 Windows shitbox. But at least it has a magnesium case. Lol.

i like how apple's lower end computers being the middlin-tier to high end PC equivilants (not having a true 'low end') always incites the poors to compare lower-end to lower-end brand to brand
