Does anyone have any opinions on the implimentation and availability of firewire solutions for PC laptops? Specifically I/O for 1394 DV video, and audio in and out of firewire external hard drives. I'll be running Foundry, Logic Audio, and Pro Tools Free in Win ME on a PIII 700 from HP. :confused:

now, let me explain. i have a small little get-up that my friends and i make our music with- all tracking goes through my mics through either an ART prochannel or a p.o.s. Alesis studio 32 into a MOTU 1296 (which sounds infinitely better than my original 2408, i have found). We usually track only one or two tracks at a time, save drums (2-8) .

A place where tape IS important!

ART supply stores (and some paint supply stores) sell "Artist's Tape", which looks like standard masking tape, except for 3 important differences:

1. It's pure white.
2. It's smooth.
3. It won't leave a sticky residue.

Hello

Its the first time that I have posted here. I have been watching the forum grow over the last month or so. Looks good so far. Hopfully someone can help me.

I'd be interested to hear how you all are organizing banks, as the PCM cards occupy the C and D banks and blow away the factory settings in the process.

There are two old sayings in the recording industry: The first is, "You Can't Polish A Turd". The second aying goes along with the first, "You CAN Polish A Turd, But All You End Up With Is A Shiny Turd". That's happened here a number of times, and why it happened might help some of you out.

So...we haven't touched on this...and perhaps it's more for the 'Bar & Grille', but I don't really care.

Does anyone else here think that was just another case of "gee, you hung around this long, let's give you an award" crap?

I dunno...I thought both 'Radiohead' and 'Beck' had far more interesting entries...maybe I'm wrong.

What do you think? And why?

What is it? Is it fat sounding cool in anyway. Fletcher I'm sure you know if it sucks or not.
