Has anyone tried expanding Motif ES with mLAN16E yet? Since I don't own Motif (yet) I am very interested to hear from brave people on the following: 1. How would you rate the quality of Motif ES/mLAN16E combination as a firewire computer audio interface? How does its quality compare to...

There are options to delete and create partitions and/or logical drives in Disk Management.

Since there is nothing left on this drive that you might want to keep, repartition the drive.

Nightsound, You may want to consider discontinued Roland M-expansion modules, which you can still catch on Ebay. There were 5 modules released and each module is almost equivalent to some expansion card. There are Bass and Drums (M-BD1), Orchestral (M-OC1), Dance (M-DC1), Vintage Synth (M-VS1)...

Since you are talking about a whole new computer, $200 is not enough. Unless, of course, you find some kind of a deal on ebay, ubid or somewhere else. Also, you should be aware that brandname computers, especially lower end models, are NOT upgrade friendly. In many cases stock electronic...

Tell us what you have. Maybe it will be enough for you to upgrade your motherboard, processor and memory. In this case $200 may be realistic.

Learning from personal bad experience I always keep the partition size within the limits of the operating system. With FAT32 under Windows that would be 32 gigs. Every large hard disk comes with a proprietary (to this manufacturer) software allowing you to create partitions larger then that...

Moving card to a different slot may not help. You need to disable IRQ steering.

Where do they sell Nuendo for $800?

I am just curious, why would you want the sonic characteristics of the monitored sound to be different from the recorded sound? I think that the idea of monitoring is to hear exactly, what is being recorded and with less possible latency.

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought that integrated controllers use the same PCI bus, except that they interface with it directly.

All my tracks are 24/88.2 and stereo. 31 tracks was maximum I ever used in a project. I never tried to max out my drive performance, and I don't know how much more then that it would handle. If you had problems running 20 mono tracks at 24/96, you must have had something wrong with the setup, or...

Maybe SATA drive is technically faster then UATA. In real life, however, even modern UATA-100 drives are quite sufficient. The largest tracks count in one project I had so far was 31 stereo tracks, and Seagate Barracuda handled that without a hiccup. Therefore, in my case moving to a faster...

I am very happy with Seagate Barracudas, which I have several. They are probably the quitest on the market. Just recently got 200GB drive for less then a $100 after rebate.

I understand that these temperature readings are for the idling machine. You will get more realistic picture once you measure the temperature under the heavy load. BTW if you have variable speed fans, that will be when they really kick in. Since your machine is pretty quite now, it should not...

Sangram, Thanks for taking trouble to test it out, and sorry for your wiping out a good partition. I feel somewhat responsible for that ;) At the website that I have found this article few days ago there are now a lot of comments from the readers, which can be split like this: - 60% completely...

Sangram, I can give you the link, but that article was not in English;) If you ever go for the test, please let us know the results. Ed, Usually it is like you say, but every once in a while we all hear about "easter eggs" and undocumented features... vestast, Standard PC and Standard PC with...

So the question remains: how does choosing old processor optimisation effects the overall speed of performance?

Just read an article that if F5 is pressed during a very early stage of a clean XP Pro or Home installation from the CD, it brings up a window allowing to choose the processor type. If i486 processor option is chosen, the system will turn the infamous CPUID module off, and after installation it...

No, nothing is on. I just put them on my head unplugged! My wife would surely like them: normally, when I have cans on I don't hear what she is saying to me, in these I would. ;) It is probably the construction of the cans themselves, or material they used, or both that produces such an effect...
