First,

let me thank Opus and everyone here for all the great info.

I have decided to take the plunge and build my own DAW. Based on my research this is what I plan to buy (from newegg of course).

We appologize for the inconvenience, but this member's posts have been deleted.

When I play back thru my MOTU 828 and listen to it in my headphones (which are plugged into the headphone jack on the 828) it sounds like there is a helicopter in my phones. When I playback just using my computers Sound Blaster Card it sounds fine! By the way using Sonar

I just want to get this clarified how this is done. I am rather dense, so bear with me.
If I were to get a Mackie Mdr, Hdr, or Sdr and a mixer, like a Mackie 32-8, How would I go about hooking it up?

Hi folks,

Any one catch that Sawyer chick interview Avril Lavigne? My wife called me into the LRoom to check it out. I did for about 5 min. Long enough to see a segment with the president of Arista Records get face time and speak.

I currently get about 45 24 bit tracks with IDE ata100 HDD and logic 5.5.

Will going raid 0 with 2 ata100 IDE's double or increase my track count?
or will I need more drives to achieve this?
:confused:

HOLY CRAP! Did I just say that out loud? LOL

Anyway, I've got a friend who will be building his DAW, sometime around March. He posted a rundown of what he's looking at on another forum I frequent. Here goes.

Looking like the system is gonna cost me aroun $3k.

Lite On 52X Burner (Upgrade for current machine, 32X will go in the new one)

Im using the 001 PC platform.
would I be better off if:

A) using my FMR RNP/RNC (2 pre's), my ART Pro MPA (2pre's), my dbx 376 (1pre), and my 001 (2pres) 7 total pre's for drums (thats all I'll need)... and purchasing the RME ADI 8 Pro $1100.00 to run with my various mic preamp's

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.
