I'm using Cubase. I have my OS on a seperate drive anyway ta. So, esata or firewire. Price shall decide!

On the Wiki, it says that certain people claim that a difference can be heard between different nuts, even when you're fretting the string. That surely has to be a load of bollocks and there's been a scientific experiment to prove it?

Heh, OK (I think PCIx was 300MB/s) in that case it's deffinitely a good option. You can get the cards for £15 each, so two of them and a beast of an esata drive could be the solution.

the standard PCI cards run at half the speed of the PCI express ones. I'm not sure what all the different data rates are. Is sata through a standard PCI card still faster than IDE? USB? USB 2? Firewire? Thanks for all the help by the way

It seems you need PCI express to get an esata card which can give the most out of an esata drive. I'm learning a lot today! Like how old and useless my PCs are.

So maybe just carry on the way I am, as in use an external HD to transfer from one computer to another, and always copy to the local drive.

I got mine in a trade the other day, not tried it yet but it sounds like everyone loves it.

It sounds like you're a little un sure. When it comes to experimenting with effects, the cheapest way to go is multi-effects. If you're not sure if you want an auto-wah or a pedal wah, then something like a used B2.1U would help you find out what you're craving for a lot less than buying two decent single pedals. Also, multi-effects seem to be getting better and better. The new Line6 stuff looks great, although i've not had the chance to try yet.

It might be worth looking at multi-effects.

Really? I thought SCSI went out with Mini discs?

I have the latency set to 0 at the moment for little projects at home where we need to monitor from the computer. I should change that before recording proper audio. I'll look into a firewire drive. I found a firewire card the other day, which is convinient.

Can USB 2 give me the full potential of a 7200RPM drive? Is there a way to see if i've recorded with glitches or not? (Cubase SX3) I generally record at 48K 16bit but I know that's probably frowned upon these days.

You would have the four outer sides all attached along the edge with a flexible plastic, so that they fold down. They have a little lip on the inside. The baffle and back sides have a bigger rubber lip on the inside to lock into the outer frame - no need for clips etc? Tupperware cab! But i'm no engineer.

Yeh I have no problem with moving between PCs, it's just the speed of the thing really. At home I regularly transfer between the two machines, but I just copy to the local drives before I start working, as I assume it's going to crash if I try working from USB. I didn't realise you could get firewire drives. I shall investigate, ta!

Does it REALLY need to be THAT airtight? If you had the sides made of moulded plastic you could get a pretty decent seal I think. A patent would have been a good idea before I spouted it on the net! Never mind.

My mixing and recording set ups are several miles apart. At the moment, I carry my PC to and fro. I'd like to stop doing this, but what's the best solution. An external drive? Can I record 16 channels at a time onto a USB drive? I have another computer I could use at one location see.

Can't you do a flat-pack light weight cab? Like a neo 12" or 15" mounted to a "baffle" (or whatever the front peice is) then 4 peices of light wood (or plastic?) that all clip together. Then it'd fit in a ruck sack.

Balls, I have one of those patch bays but i've already bought the stereo jack plugs. To be fair, an insert loom would have cost much more than just putting these plugs on the mono jack loom i've already got.

I got a whole warehouse for free for four years (until the roof collapsed) just by asking the guy who ran the industrial estate I worked on. Maybe there are some industrial estates near you who can't rent all their buildings and will cut a deal.
