Can I hook my old 442 to the second card?
Thanks John.

Rendering to different lengths is only a no no if you are going to use a
stereo native insert on the 2 different lenght tracks.
otherwise...it's no problem.
all other tips are valid
I've also seen bad things happen when messing around too much in the "markers"
window. I don't leave it open anymore than is neccessary, and save before
deleting or renaming markers.

thinking of getting a new tv.We started out looking at 30-32"
tube HDTVs,but then the picture quality of the lcds started to
wow us.
Now I see you can get 42" projection DLP and Lcds for less than
2 grand.So our budget has maybe doubled from what we were
thinking at first.We just don't want to buy something then want
something else a couple of years later.
Anybody got some cool sets their running or have any advice.
I'm really eyeing the Sony 42" projection LCD pretty good right
now.
TIA,
PeteHey Guys,
Is anyon
