Very helpful to know this. In fact I too have a M-Audio FireWire 410, but I got mine used, and I was just wondering how to hook up the unit, being that my computer doesn't have any FireWire ports. I was hoping to use the adapters that you have in this video, but I guess now, that idea won't work either, well I guess I need to find another solution. Thanks for the load!
Hello, sorry to say, the only solution I found so far, is I found a computer that I had which has two Firewire ports built into it. You may have to find a older cheap computer, or maybe try a different interface, in the meantime I'll check around to see if there's another answer, if I find it, I'll come back and post it here. Wish you well.
Hey, I just re-watched this video after leaving my comment, and I remember what may be an important factor. If you have these adapters, then try hooking it up, with both the M-Audio, and your computer, with them both being off.(also turn off your device or whatever instrument your using), then after the wire connections are made, then turn on your device or instrument, then turn on your computer, and lastly, then turn on your M-Audio. This can really make a difference! Also, before buying another computer or interface, you might want try buying a Firewire port card for your computer, this would be better than getting another computer, maybe you can find one cheap on maybe Ebay or Amazon. Try that, and let me know what works for you.
I also bought a USB adapter to firewire and it does not work with a hard disk firewire, nor with a Sony handycam does not work does not give a signal nothing happens and even my IMac tells me that I have the USB ports blocked. the incredible thing is that they continue selling ... !!!
Thanks. I was considering getting one of the same firewire audio interfaces on ebay (since the prices for new usb ones have more than doubled due to covid). Came to youtube to see about converting but it seems like a hassle. Guess I'll just wait for prices to settle back down again, whenever that is.
I'm not going into bat for these little adaptors but to be fair this test did not include making sure the OS was outputting to the correct port. When you re patch an audio device there is usually some additional configuration required. That said I'd be delighted and very surprised if this worked. Fundamentally there are only Firewire drivers available for these units. Converting the FW to USB in this manor does not mean the device magically becomes seen as FW on the USB buss. I would imagine there would need to be USB drivers written to accommodate the incoming FW stream. Just thinking out loud.
I bought one of those Firewire to USB adapters, got it today. POS doesnt work. I have a Sony Mini DV tape camcorder and two 1394 Firewire DVD burners-players. How do I connect these devices to my Windows laptop with regular USB ports? [NO Thunderbolt} what cables, apps, video cards would I need to do this?
Type c ones work because fireware supports up to 40 watts and usb only supports 5 watts and there is only cables on adapter so dont buy these adapters and type c ones can delivery up to 125 watts so type c ones should work
There is a software product available that also has a digitizer box. Play the VHS OR DV feed through the box, connect to computer and the software converts it and allows burn to DVD. It is made by HONESTECH. Totally forget firewire of thunderbolt.
Imagine if there was this one ultra-data USB in which there was every connector every made, and the ultra USB stores as much as 2 computers (Gamer dreams)
You probably have to go into sound preferences to check and highlight. What is it u are trying to connect? If it is a camera you will need to go into preferences.
Hi did you tryed to feed tha M-audio wtih an external power supply? then use the USB 2 firewire converter? Did you able to connect successfully the 410 with USB using some other interface?
@@djsamcord Read my lips...FIREWIRE TO USB CONVERTERS ARE FAKE. They will not work. They are incompatible. The ones sold on Amazon are just jury rigged with wires...no interface at all...because a firewire to USB interface does NOT EXIST. I have been working with computers and programming for 47 years, so I know what I am talking about. What you suggest will damage your system.
Those dinky little adapters never work, from what I heard. Your best bet is a FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adapter. But the problem is while most Macs on the Market have at least one Thunderbolt port, very few Windows PCs do. I think on the towers you can add a Thunderbolt PCI card or something.
Bravo. Hvala ti Puno. Postedeo si me nerviranja i gubljenja vremena zbog tih sranja. Da li si resio problem i kako. Postoji li neki adapter koji radi posao? Hvala. Pozdrav
Riješio sam problem tako da sam kupio Firewire PCI karticu za računalo. Na žalost, nisam pronašao nikakav adapter koji će Firewire prebaciti na USB (barem ne koji radi) iako bi mi to puno značilo. Pozdrav!
@@sinisaferencic Adapter u ovom smislu kako si isprobao - ne postoji. A ovo što si isprobavao zapravo i nije adapter u pravom smislu riječi, već opasno (za računalo) povezana dva inače direktno nepoveziva porta. Razlika između FireWire i USB portova je prevelika. Krenemo li od napona, USB nudi 5 V, FireWire 30 V. FireWire ima full duplex protok podataka, dakle dvosmjerni, USB nema, već se brzo prebacuje iz jednog smjera u drugi. Isto tako, ni brzine prijenosa podataka nisu iste: FireWire 1 - 400Mb/s, FireWire 2 - 800 Mb/s; USB 1.0 - 1.5 Mb/s, USB 1.1 - 12 Mb/s, USB 2.0 - 480 Mb/s, USB 3.0 - 5 Gb/s.
У меня такая же проблема но! Я заметил что у вас в PC гнездо как и в звуковой карте! У меня тоже есть такое гнездо. Т.е. карту подключить можно но надо кабель Фаерваер с одинаковыми штекерами на концах? Ибо обычный кабель с маленьким штекером типа для входа в PC а большой в карту. А если купить кабель с одинаковыми штекирами то заработает ? Вы так подключили ?
USB напряжение 5V FireWire напряжение 12V Следовательно кабель перестает быть источник фантомного питания, и к карте необходимо дополнительно подключить блок питания 220V
La pregunta es algo general pero trataré de responder: Hay 3 tipos basicos de firewire thumbs.static-thomann.de/thumb//thumb1000x/pics/cms/image/guide/es/interfaces_de_audio/firewire_esp.jpg el del video es el 400 de 6 pines. Es muy común en computadoras mac antiguas, PERO casi no hicieron pc ni laptops windows con esas entradas. Entonces tu mejor apuesta, en mi opinión, es una pc de escritorio. Si ya tienes una, solo compra un "firewire pci" estan desde 150 pesos mas o menos dependiendo la calidad. Si tienes laptop, hay unos adaptadores llamados "riser pci usb" asi busca en mercadolibre. Pero no estoy 100% seguro que resulte. Pero un 99% igual y si :)
plug on the 3.1 usb port plug to a the 3.1 usb port but you need a pci usb internal card3.0/3.1 the firewire need more than 5v in usb port and the 2.0 dont has these voltage i thinknig that it he problem
Any USB port (including 3.1) defaults to 5V (except Type-C, it is supposed not to provide any power (0V) until cable connection is connected and 5V afterwards) and supplies 5V only unless UDB PD is supported on both sides

Buy Pinnacle Moviebox -
The adapter only passes thru data not self powered USB devices he would need a USB to FireWire cable.

I believe you need a power supply with the usb

So how can I transfer dv tapes from old Sony camera to new laptop without firewire or thunderbolt?
I'm dealing with the same issue...an old Sony camera and a hundred tapes and a new desktop with no Firewire port.

Just look at this: ruclips.net/video/0SFofdD8i0U/видео.html
Were you ever able to get the firewire interface to work with the USB port on your computer?
No...
I have to buy PCI card for firewire to work with it...
Hi did you tryed to feed tha M-audio wtih an external power supply? then use the USB 2 firewire converter?
Did you able to connect successfully the 410 with USB using some other interface?
You tried? And how are the experience? I'm thinking to trie with my M Audio Projectmix. Sorry for my english i'm from spain

same situation here, so how to makes this work? I've got alesis audiocard with firewire but no bus on my Asus
@FACUNDO FOURNIER y que puede hacer en ese caso ? Cómo darle más alimentación? Agradezco tu atención

this is for extension adapter-usb cord-adapter

are you solved?
ola amigo voce tem o driver dessa placa para me fornecer ? tenho uma mas nao tenho driver para instala-

Thanks.
thank for you info almost I buy this adpter trash

NO VA A FUNCIONAR FIREWIRE Y USB USAN VOLTAJE DIFERENTE
now i see all thins don't help old laptop to now stuff
i jst wasted money and am now seeing this video
Этот переходник сделан для подключения ieee 1394 через USB...
Yes.... Mother board of my MacBook is broken, It short circuited!!! And I think my audio interface M-Audio FireWire 410 is broken too. GRRRRR!!!
Damn man ... I was just talking about this, AND THE EXACT SAME M-AUDIO 410
Isn't there any software to do this maybe?
This kind of adapters are the dummies not working
od nekud mije poznata aparatura
