Formatting of External Audio Xfer Drive?

People,

Picked up a Western Digital External HD for transferring Project & Bundle files (SONAR XL) between our band's two project studios (since most of our projects are well over CD-R capacity.)

The internal secondary drives in the PC's in our studios (which are used exclusively for audio data) are formatted to NTFS.

Seeking opinions on best formats for mastering

Forums

Hi all. I know there are a lot of mastering engineers on this board and I'm wondering on what you all think on the best format for mastering. I've heard it said that recording in 24/96 and sending in an AIFF file is useless in the end because of downsampling and dithering. Then - I've also heard that the absolute best for some are AIFF files at 24/48. At any rate, I'd love some opinions!

Permance problem with newly formated install...

Sometimes when a program is opening I have some audio running (winamp etc) The sound will start to stutter.
Also my mouse will tend to stutter aswell.
So this is either a memory, CPU or HD performance issue?
Ive Ran Hot CPU tester and it says i have 0 Problems.
Oh yeah this is NOT a virii prob.

MP3 formating

Forums

Hello All,
this is my first post, which means I graduate from "Lurker". OK. I want to convert a wav file that's 37.20 mbs to one that's less than 2.0 mbs so that I can attach it to email. I tried saving as mp3 in Cool Edit pro but only got it down to 3.7mbs. Can anybody tell me how to do this.
:)
thanks
