Guys. .I just got my WD JB 40GB drive...did a ghost disk to disk transfer from my old drive to the new one. Booted up..not much boot up time difference but here's the kicker :D

Well as for most of you that dont know, I have been about to purchase some equipment for recording my self, and possibly some bands that come along my way. I first started off just wanting to get some sound card to record myself with and thats it. But then I caught the recording bug!

Ok,

I noticed that the matrox 450 card at newegg doesn't come with a cable. What type of cable does it need? I found this cable:

GWC KVM cable. 3 in 1. 6FT Male to Male Model 86000

Will this do the job?

Also, the WD drives at newegg are OEM. I'm buying some vantec round ide cable, is there anything else that I will need to have to install the drive?

Help! I would like to get a plextor CD-RW for my laptop, but am limited by my connection options (PC Card, USB 1, serial, parralel).

I was hoping someing could point me in the right direction.. Thoughts were to slap a plextor IDE into a firewire enclosure ->Firewire adapter card-PC CARD slot. Im using WIN2k on a beefy HP laptop.

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone,

I've been around the board for a bit, reading some great stuff others have posted, and I'm wondering if anyone can point me in a new direction.

I am currently working on my dissertation which aims to discover how DAWs have impacted on commerical music production and how they have changed the way people work and the music that they produce. My research focused solely on computer based DAWs (ie. Nuendo, Protools, Logic, etc). So I am writing this poll to get your opinions.

Has using a DAW resulted in you experiencing more "down time" (i.e. periods when you cannot work due to technology related problems) during the production process?
