All of the above. However, don't regard certain sorts of digital storage as 'eternal'. For starters, there's only two sorts of hard drive in the world: those that have broken, and those that haven't broken yet. Nobody knows how long 'flash media' like USB sticks and SD cards will actually last...

I entirely agree. As it happens, I'm obliged to use high isolation headphones when 'live' mixing: one tends to be pushed into some remote corner of the venue meaning there's usually too much chatter, background noise and room reflections to hear what's really coming from the PA / stage amps...

By the look of it my longish post never reached these pages. My main point has been covered elsewhere. I was discussing the merits of headphones for working on the 'live gig' recordings that I make, and stated that the 'binaural stereo' one gets from headphones is drastically unlike what you'd...

Panasonic video cameras are good. I have an HDC100. But if you are using an older Mac for editing (mine is a 2006 iMac running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard), the computer will not recognise the camera's file type, suffix .mts. You'll have to mess about with file conversion software, 'Handbrake' for Mac...

ECC83...and I entirely agree with your comment too. As is (I hope) obvious, I was making a point using absurd extremes. Yes, it's best to have the best kit you can afford, we can argue for ever about what that might be, and if I could afford to buy better, this forum would one of the the first...

Go with your instinct and keep your cash for priority items that will make an immediate and blindingly obvious improvement. Music is an art form, not an exercise in technology for its own sake. The many devices available to capture /*process it come and go, and whichever one you have now will be...
