A mobile 001 setup

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a 001 for mobile recording. I wonder if anyone here could recommend any models for laptop/firewire drive/lunchbox computer that has been proven to work with the 001. Is a firewire drive a necessity or a luxury?
I am planning to record primarily stereo live tracks but if possible also live multitrack recording using another hardware interface.

delta soundcards?

was in guitar center today. drooling
they had delta 44, 1010, 410. the 44 comes with a breakout box with mic preamp's (not going to Micing much) for 400 clams.
just wondering if anyone likes, heard, or knows much about them. i think 400 is my limit for a soundcard (not much but workable).
or is there something else to look at?

Dealing with acoustic guitar string buzz

Recording an acoustic gtr (Takamine) w/capo that has a healthy string buzz and pick noise. The player wants stereo image and an intimate, close-mic sound. I'm having trouble finding a spot that's not accentuating pick noise or string buzz. I tried every mic set up I could think of. I'm using a pair of MK102 but I tried SR77's and a Brauner Valvet/Dragonfly combo as well with no luck.

Remuneration for video games music composing

As a composer for a major video games company, i'd like to exchange views and experiences with other musicians who have been exposed to the flat fee system vs royalties/rights system.
What is your experience, what's the rule, how do you manage that, with which results : is the "no rights with the highest fee" the most common final deal?
Thanx for sharing your experiences.

Optimizing G4 for 001

I'm running 001 on a G4-400 AGP, 320Mb ram, ATI Rage 128, 2 Maxtor harddrives, Yamaha SCSI CD-RW 24x4x8, Adaptec 2906. I've been researching ways to beef it up.
I've looked at replacing the CPU with a bigger one, but none of the upgrades are compatible with my G4. Go figure ... if I had a G3 I'd be able to upgrade to G4-500, or even G4 DUAL 500s!
