install

Quick question about my my home recording computer. I have had a few posts on here asking for advice about hardware for a studio, but this is just for my home setup. Where I personally record.

My Setup is:

I am in the dilemma of upgrading from Pro Tools 7.4HD to 10HD. We currently have 2 rooms running 7.4 with HD2 accel on windows xp machines with the legacy 192's and sync I/O's. I would like to upgrade to 10HD with our existing hardware running on osx Lion systems.

I'm growing my sound-and-lights company and have an opportunity to install a small system into a local venue that's opening soon. I'm trying to determine how much to charge them for the system.

My initial thoughts are to figure this out based on 2 factors: how much the rental is, and how much i need to be paid for my work.

I am going to install an orange drop capacitor into my guitar tomorrow and I need to know a few things before starting. How much of the legs do I cut off? The legs are around 2" so I can't imagine not cutting at least something. Should I shrink wrap the legs?

?:( noob me...

So I'm almost ready to install my Protools, and also my Kontact.

I've been told by some to install my Pro Tools on my main hard drive (the one with windows on it) and to install my sample program on an external drive. Also, they say to record all audio files to the external drive.

greetings!

So as l stated in my subject l have a new machine w/ three hard drive in my quad core 3gig RAM machine. But l don't know what software should go where? after talking to a few people l got a couple of different answers on what would be more efficient and what would help my programs run faster and safer.

Ok here it goes.
I currently have a 2001 Mac G4 Digital Audio quicksilver with a MOTU 324 card paired with a MOTU 1224 and MOTU 24i interface. Nothing works now because:
1. my mac hard drive crashed and lost the original factory OSX system which USED to recognise and work well with the 324 card.

Can someone give me a basic rundown on how XLR Wall Plates are installed and connected to each other?

Thank you,

Rob

I just bought this second hand to house an autotune and pre but there is NO WAY to screw these things in. It's impossible to get your hand inside the thing to screw the nut onto the bolt. Are there some sort of clips instead that I need to pick up?
