OK, so I'm trying to set up the "studio" into something that I'll be able to use easily for a while to come, and I'm thinking seriously about investing in a patchbay setup.

As a preamble, I'm not new to patching. Back when I was a live guy I lived on a Gamble EX56, which had a very compete, altho flaky, patchbay that was indispensable with the double wide FOH rack we had.

Thank you. :D

Quick question. I read the Win2000 optimization guide. From that I think the OS hardrive gets formatted NTFS(?) and the sound drive gets FAT32. The harddrives are Deskstar 120gxps. Tring to format the sound drive FAT32. I keep getting errors that say the volume is too big. Does Fat32 have some limitation? The drives are 40gig.

A lot of people seem to love the analog vs digital battle but I wonder how many people record with a hybrid set-up like I have. Since I started with a 1/2" 8 track room in 1989 and then went digital in 1993 I decided to keep as much of the old gear in service when appropriate. For example, I like to track drums and guitars to tape.

here's my dilemma. i have all the parts for my ANUS. i ordered everything for a complete build. but i also have a couple items from my previous pc that might be worth putting in my ANUS (ouch).

Well I am putting together a new box. Ingrediant list is in some other post around here. Anyway a question on IDE cables - Please excuse if my tech jargon is off.

Just stumbled upon a recording tip at :

Lately, I have been doing what I refer to a "post" mixing, which happens after the mixing and before the mastering.
Typically it involves re-balancing stems(inst to vox, or bkgd vox,GTRsolos...).

Smart users

Is this funky unit suitable for vocal's duties too?

Thanks...
