Okay guys...
I'm new to digital recording.
Where's the technology going? What's obsolete now? What's the latest way to go? USB...firewire...ADAT...compactflash...I'm so confused.
Right now, I have a butt-load of mics and an analog mixer. My next step was going to be a self-contained recorder like the Fostex VF160EX or Tascam's DP-01FX/CD. I like the idea of being able to walk away with a complete CD. Now...since I've scored an IBM ThinkPad(which could be dedicated to recording), I'm wordering if I shouldn't look more into FireWire stuff.
While I'm not interested in being on the absolute cutting-edge, I need to know my gear will still be compatible with current technology is say...7 years.
