USB to Firewire, (e)SATA, or other methods of connecting devices do not work correctly.

Presonus Audio does properly support the use of the approved Apple Thunderbolt to firewire adapters on PC and Mac systems.

Examine your computer or its documentation for any ports resembling those below.

From there, you should be up-and-running and ready to record.

For more information on the different types of FireWire connections, please see this document.

Below are the common situations in which the FireWire system needs to be examined.

Note that having the minimum requirements also requires that your system be optimized properly in order to ensure that no crashes, freezes, blue screens, or other errors are experienced while using the mixer.

While FireWire is a standardized protocol, different chipset manufacturers create alterations to industry specifications which can result in loss of sync, poor bandwidth, and other issues.

Before purchasing a StudioLive mixer or FireWire solution, please make sure it adheres to the list above.

If your chipset does not meet the compatibility requirements, youll need to purchase a new FireWire solution that does.

In order to know what kind of card you would need, you would need to examine your computers motherboard, or the documentation that came with your computer.

Below is a picture detailing the different visual appearances of PCI Express and PCI slots.

For example, a PCIe x1 card can fit into a PCIe x4 and x16 card; however, a PCIe x4 card cannot fit into a PCIe x1 card.

Since PCI is an older legacy standard that has been superseded by PCI Express, on a computer with both PCIe and PCI slots, the PCI slot must transmit data through a bridge chip, decreasing bandwidth and resulting in problematic behavior and reduced performance.

For this reason PreSonus recommends using PCIe FireWire solutions whenever possible.

There are no functional solutions to convert from USB to FireWire, SATA to FireWire, etc.

Below is an image of both an ExpressCard port and 34-millimeter ExpressCard adapter.
