Having to spend $11,000 to get a PT rig that performs auto delay compensation is rediculous! The product cycle seems ungodly quick as well. And the fact that they so quickly drop support from older systems is a crock based on how much the stuff actually costs. |

Yes. |

It's a no brainer, get the G5. Whether or not the dual 2.5 is what you need is the debatable point. If you can score a good price on a G5, do it now... |

I'm an old SCSI lover but i'm curious how the new firewire 800 is working for audio. Is it close to the robustness of SCSI whilst editing? I don't do the high track count stuff, 32 is a big project for me as of late thanks to making decisions early, so track count isn't as much of an issue. Lately in DP Firewire 400 or the internal Ide at 7200 has been fine. just curious if the 800 is a bump that gets into SCSIland. |

should i not do firewire drives? |

i'll be mixing other people's projects i assume people will simply send me a drive should i transfer it to my internal? or just hook it up and rock? you have to think about my specific situation.....it's a little unique compared to a standard PT set up and how it functions |

No playback off firewire drives. It's just asking for trouble. Maybe if you set your buffer size to half an hour. |

fibes, when are you making the switch over? |

sent the check two days ago PT HD2 with 2 192 I/O's with an additional D/A card for 8 more outs and a sync I/O for locking to code mac G5 dual 2.5 gig with a 17" plasma dislplay..... |

I just passed on getting a PT rig for another month and invested in more outboard instead... I do that every month |

you guys are funny. why not do both? |

If you're a pro, making a living at this, you buy what you need. If that's PT, all the outboard you need, and/or Nuendo/Samplitude, whatever, you do it. That's all I'm saying. If you're a hobbyist then yea, you need to pick your tools more carefully. drew |

Oh that's fine, I thought you had misinterpreted me as saying that I bought the outboard instead of PT, I bought the outboard because I'm NEVER (Or at least for the forseeable, time-limited approaching infinite future) buying PT |
