USB Hub
Who has one they like? I'm running a Macbook Pro, it only has 2 of it's own USB ports, I am in need of one more. Tell me what you like these days?
Thanks.
Thanks.

hard drive
midi controller
iLok
my interface doesn't wanna behave nicely with my hard drive through firewire. It used to back in the PT 6.7 days, but now that I'm a bit more up to date (not by much) PT 10, but still using the Digi002, this is the route that seems to be working for me.
I just wanna get that Midi controller in there.

I think you should be fine with a passive hub then. I believe even though the MacBooks have 2 USB ports it's all on the same bus anyway, I don't think a midi controller is gonna push it over the edge. I'd probably keep the hard drive plugged direct into the computer for power though.
You don't have any thunderbolt or express card ports I guess?

doing a record now on a rig thats not mine. Using a cheap staples hub for the keyboard (2 iloks) extra slot for thumb drive/backup at end of the night, and combo hdmi/usb because its an old monitor and only works that way. 2nd usb slot on the computer goes to main recording drive. been working well so far
I run two of these off my 6yo MBP
