Quite true, and it even goes beyond just audio in some cases. I've learned
plenty of non-audio computer related stuff for example. Basically it's a
group of intelligent people with similar interests, so very often, if you're
into it, somebody on here will know about it.

And I certainly don't have a problem with that. :o)

Cheers,
Kim.Hey Lamont, can't wait to get it in, I'll finally have some 24bit
converters. Couldnt afford the RME. Wish I could afford the 1820m, maybe
later I can add the dock and sync card to make it into one.

>Hi Steve,

I have done this many times. We have a 5 card, 2 MEC system
operating. Each MEC has two 8it cards for 16 inputs per
MEC. I patch all 16 card inputs to mixer channels on both
MEC's, arm and press record... it's that easy. Do you have
any specific questions about this? if so, fire away.

room. :) I have missed talking to y'all.

Anyway, thank you very much everyone for your nice comments. Now that we've
finished our "art rock" excursion, we've started working on a pop record,
just to confuse everyone. I graduate in less than a month, and won't be
buried in homework all the time, so the next CD should happen much faster.

Looking forward to catching up with yez.

Hugs,

Sarah
