Should I go portable?

I've already bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (4 preamps and USB) for £250 off amazon. I am still within my return window. Should I instead return that and get a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, second hand, off eBay for around £200, although it works out at around the same price due to the cost of a FireWire cable and the £25 FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter?

Double-glazed laminated, or triple-glazed non-laminated?

Hi folks,



I'm building a drum room in my garden, and we are at the stage of deciding on the windows. We are faced with the choice for the outer window with either standard double glazing but with laminated glass panes, or triple glazing with unlaminated panes. The company have stated that the triple-glazed laminate panes would be too heavy and not practical.

ive been on an electronics YouTube binge, and this little thing came up for a review. I compared it to its peers, and read a bunch of reviews, and it seems the base $100 is the best bargain. This thing is a full PC ! Not particularly fast 1.4ghz w four cores, but this is a perfect device to use for downloading updates, and file transfers, etc etc.

hey all I thought I'd share this becasue it's probably very much how we will be communicating on there's forums in a few years. I pulled the trigger on the recolive switch app for $5. As owner of iPhone/pad it's gonna be perfect for my upcoming tutorials and media content starting next year.



How do I set up audio recording for Logic?

To cut a long story short...I have an iMac (running OSX Leopard) with Logic Studio 8, and want to record my songs to it.



I have a Kord X5D synth, Behringer C-1 XLR microphone, and Takamine (EG510SC) semi-acoustic guitar.



But I have no idea what sort of set-up gear I need for audio-recording with.
