Topic: Fireface 400 working with MacBookPro 2018 (Mojave)
I used the search function, but didn find the answers I am looking for.
I have a Fireface 400 with an Firewire 400 connector. Unforunately my good old working horse, a old Macbook from 2011 was damaged physically with no chance of repair.
Now I have a new ( and expensive) MacBookPro 2018 with Mojave as OS.
My first problem is the connection. I have only USB-C (=Thunderbolt3) on my new MacBook. I didnt find a possibility to adapt directly from USB-C to Firewire 400.
Any experiences and recomandations for me?
I see two possibilities:
A) USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter + Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire Adpater
B) USB-C to USB-Adapter + USB to Firewire Adapter
A) would be much more expensive, but i dont know which of the two solutions really would work?
What I know is that I have to us external powering for my FF400 because the voltage of the USB-C (plus Cables..) will be too low.
Please no suggestions like " use a Windows Computer instead of an expensive Apple.." because I am working with Logic Pro.
THANK YOU for Your help (and sorry for my not perfect english)
