Hi,

I'm just about done building my new recording PC(switching from Mac). Samplitude V8 should be here next week. While I'm waiting, is there a really cheap or free recording software I could use with my MOTU 2408 MKII and PCI-324 card just to put the computer through its' paces?

BTW, Are SATA drives much better/faster than 7200RPM IDE drives? Do all SATA and IDE drives perform the same, given the same specs? The ones I'm looking at are Samsung brand(both SATA and IDE).

I have a gateway 3.4gh computer running 2gig of ram. I'm running 2 hard drives a10,000rpm western digital raptor and a 7200rpm 250gig officestar both are sata's. Personaly I prefer the sata! 1. no configuring master/slave...performance I think is slightly better(obviously the raptor is extreemly fast!)and the cable much easier to deal with!

Krystal Audio1.1 is an ecellent freeware 16channel recording app. supporting vst! good luck!!!
