With 6GBs and superspeed USB 3.0 coming out, what data storage do you use? Do you use servers, NAS or SANs? Which Brands/Models? What future technology is really interesting to you? And are you considering using?

I was wondering if using a Yamaha 01V96 as a DAW recording device was a good idea?
If I would like to record 12 simultaneous channels via firewire into software (like cubase, or such), can the 01V96 be used as such?

Hello all,

Has anybody tried to use a FireWire audio interface and a USB audio interface together with Apple's aggregate device option? Would it be best to just pick up another FireWire interface for data flow/latency issues?

I have a PreSonus Firepod and would like to add 2 extra channels on occasion. (Yeah, I just can't get the S/PDIF thing to work.)

I have a DAT recorder: Sony PCM- M1 and had a Technica AT 822 that was stolen. Keeping in mind this is for portable use that fits in my hand or close to that size.

some kinda gizmo which will will reduce the impedance of a jack i wanna whack into my firepod from line to instrument level?- ¿huh?- ¿is there?

I have 2 separate stereo systems [2 amps each with it's own speakers and other music gear], I run my music from my laptop and depending on the music I will use either system [amp] but of course I will have to stop the music to connect the laptop output to whichever amp input I will be switching to.

And what are they used for/why are they needed.

I can't seem to find much. Just a general education question, that's all.

Thanks.

Setup:

Windows XP Home
Cubase SX
MAudio Delta 1010
Alesis Multi-mix 8 mixer

Problem:

hi guys

i just want to buy a single XLR analog to digital converter to feed my recording mic into garage band.

it has to be portable for location recording with my macbook pro, and USB or firewire powered. i just want the cheapest and smallest solution.

thanks in advance
