I travel a lot with my equipment and I finally decided to get some insurance on it. I found this on the Digidesign Users Conference - TDM for Mac forum. Anyone using them? Have you made any claims with them? Premiums seem very reasonable around 6.00 per thousand dollars of equipment and covers equipment on the road as well as the studio.

I'm deciding to get our brains off of PC's and P4's and G4's and MSi or Asus That. AAARRRGGHHHH. .

Bloody Vikings...

I read an interview of producer Elliot Scheiner in Electronic Musician who said something I have heard on occassion. I've not tried it because I don't have a vintage compressor but I was wondering how popular this is:

Anyone have experience with this? How is the soundcard? The digital mixer? If you don't like it, what would you recommend in its' place?

Hi folks,
any suggestions on nice sounding compact mixers (4-8 mic inputs)? Main uses will be as a sub mixer or for on location recording. I want it simple and sturdy. No fancy routing needed. I've been surfing the net a bit, finding very few alternatives. My budget for this project is in between the Spirit M series and TL Audio 's Tubetracker, that is roughly $1000-$3000.

How many ever use a sampled kick or snar (pop and alike) instead of the real thing?

I've had a few battles over this saying they can tell the difference every time. I sent a track out to someone (we all respect) and they couldn't tell the difference, and he didn't believe me.

Cool, what categoies are there?

Compressors, Limiters,
effects
reverbs
etc.

I'm rushing out the door, please add to this ..

I'm about to put together a system for a friend and I was just wondering which chipsets and/or motherboards everyone thinks are best for digital audio work. I'm almost positive I want to use an Athelon processor.

Okay,

So I picked up a Apple G3 Laptop that has 1 firewire port. two usb ports and a line in and line out.

Already had a version of Emagic Logic on the machine. I have a peavey mic and a compressor.

How do I record to the laptop?

For Midi I bought something that handles that pretty well. Just need to know how to get audio in and out and at a good level!

Does anybody have some info about this table, Like: retail price, head purpose, pics, data sheets, or just anything? I'm intending to buy one.
