Question

I want to hook up my Rm32a1 to my laptop to record

Answer 1

You don't, firewire and HDMI aren't compatible, I have used USB 3 to s800 firewire adapters with some luck and those can be found at most computer stores, PreSonus doesn't gaurantee they will work, and the USB2 to firewire ones don't work, you have to make sure it's a USB 3 to firewire adapter.
