Its always interesting when people start talking speed with regards to HDs... Doing some rough calcs... For each mono track, 24 bit, 48KHz, the bitrate is going to be 1,152 Kbps. So filesize is 144 Kb per second, per channel written to disk. For 32 tracks... 144kb x 32 tracks = 4608Kb/s, so in Mb, 4.5Mb/s So realistically, any HD will do at those kind of write speeds. Of course, with a magnetic drive, you'd hope that you've got the disk defragged for recording. Of course SSD doesn't suffer with fragmentation. So when I say any HD will do... they will... as pretty much any 5400rpm HD will handle write speeds of way more than 4.5Mb/s. In short, the hard disk is not going to be the issue when tracking. Editing however, you'll probably appreciate the faster disk speed. If you suffer problems whilst recording - especially long sessions - it's probably down to your choice of daw, or buffer on your audio device. In short, processor for recording and then RAM for are king. For clarification though - SSD for at least your system disk is going to make your system feel a lot lot lot more responsive.

I'll buy two at that price! Good grief.

Oh right! No - that's a bit back now, things seem to have moved pretty fast round here now! Yeah - I agree - seems a lot of cash for a stick with a base!

The reshelling cost?

Probably the same

Correct - inearz concentrating on their own IEMs at the moment (they have just done a deal with asius to fit the Adel) so have halted reshells for the time being.

Always a way to achieve the end goal :-p

Just a quick comment about correct sub placement, I don't know what it's like elsewhere - but most wedding venues round here (I'm guessing that's the main target for these array systems) simply wouldn't accommodate the central placed, wall coupled sub setup. These arrays clearly aren't marketed at the pro end of the spectrum - they are for the guys that need to put a system in, get a good sound, play and leave. The setup at most has to be done usually in an hour or less and the complexity is low. Let's get real - people haven't got the time to SMAART those kinda gigs. As for correct PA setup, it's been some time since I've seen a poor pro PA setup - certainly in the UK most pro PA companies with pro gear are seperate subs and top boxes and aligning in the manner that Bill is referring.

You utter bastard. Another knife in the heart of rock and roll.

Nearly another one!?

Lycra condoms!

Talkback mic. If there's lots of joke sharing via inears, guys laughing - they feel left out of the fun.

Not really - people tend to stick around when they've paid so much for their entry ticket.

That tends to happen when you start licking speaker cones when they are moving

Full range flat response. What you put in is what you get out. Put a modeller into your linear array with a model of and amp with say an 8x10 cab, it will sound like what that rig would if it was miced up out of the PA.

DJ Khaled.

FRFR then?

I do have a surefire way of getting guitarists onto IEMs... I guarantee they'll be on them within two gigs (as long as the rest of the band are on IEMs)....

@charicGoing above quad is a risky game - as I was saying to people at the show... don't start trying stuff that is above your budget cos it will torment you! Was an interesting weekend though - seeing people's reactions between the different brands and the different driver counts. Had a really interesting experience with a guy switching between the A4 , JH11 and the UE11. I think the mention of the UE11 being a sub, low, mid, treble as opposed to a bass, bass, mid, treble fried his mind - and you could see him trying to figure if he heard it as sub or bass! Its all really interesting people feeding back what they think they hear and what they prefer. Still a hard idea to sell though - its amazing how many people will be prepared to drop cash on a wedge - but not IEMs - despite the IEMs being able to free them from a world of feedback, lumping gear around, have a better sound and protect your ears! The guitar show was the most difficult though!! Guitarists just don't seem interested at all. Good to see you managed to get a Woojer sorted though. The phone will be more than enough to test it out - and the bluetooth element means you will be able to do it with minimal faff!

May be of interest to @charic PS - you never came up to me - had the Woojer ready and waiting!

I'd say.

No but you do sell speaker plans that people can use to have a DIY route to the end product - you do have income from this, therefore you do have an interest.

They both have commercial interests - so one person with a commercial interest in the area commenting on the product represented by another person with the same commercial interest, is a bit discourteous at best.

Their situation changed. They should have at least asked you if your situation had changed... imho.

Yeah. Exactly. Like watching paint dry. Until a fight kicks off that is.
