So, I preface my topic, here, by saying that I totally know that running USB 2 WesternDigital MyBooks for 24+ track recordinug is not the most efficient and reliable method... But It works very well.

I do not have a "real" studio.

My mic stands transmit(To my mics) vibration from other rooms, down the street, maybe the next town, I don't know? I remembered, from my astronomy research, something that is used for such vibration dampening on amateur telescope tripods.
