If you're a #musician, #audioEngineer, do #musicProduction, and you use #GNUlinux then #IEEE1394 #FireWire is as good as ever.
I've got an old laptop with a mini 1394 port and an #Alexis Multimix (12?) mixing board. It works fine and I don't really need more right now. Might get a PCI-E to FireWire adaptor card for my old desktop partially just because. There is a small advantage to it over USB.
idk how much more I'll obtain. It's cheap. lol
What's better is #MADI, #DANTE, #ADAT direct to PCI-E. Use Cat6+ if you've really got that many channels.
