    Who's working with video?

    hmm... the only thing I can think of is to get ratios from the "tap tracks" and use that figure to determine the ammount of speeding up and slowing down is necessary... example (bear in mind I'm a drummer so my math is probably wrong) CD = 100bpm video is at 98bpm you would then need to...

    Computer crash

    if it was a head crash it _can_ happen to a standalone recorder as harddrives are basically all the same... I'd bet the multitrack has a 7200RPM IDE drive... software crashes like a corrupt partition table or even accidental fdisk are pretty easy to recover.

I do some in home support and there is a family who's kids origionally thought spyware was a myth... a boogyman parents told to kids to keep them from looking at porn... the PC (XP Home) would then last about 18 hours before it wouldn't boot... after about...

    Start Own Record Label?
