W webcity macrumors member Original poster Oct 26, 2011 #1 I'm taking up audio production as a hobby. I've got a 2009(?) Unibody 15" Macbook Pro and a 2011 Mac Mini. The audio interface I'm getting is Firewire 400 so is there anything I can get to give me Firewire 400 on both the laptop and the mini?

All you need is a firewire 6 pin to 9 pin cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=firewire+cable&x=0&y=0 You DON'T want to try connecting both devices to your interface at one time. One-at-a-time is what works.
