This was a scary decision and knowing you guys were so helpful made the task a bit easier.

Just Loaded Dp 4.5 and the upgrades to 4.6 I believe, The audio handling is some sick sh**...

I need to get used to the work flow and figure out the best way to set up an edit project. I wont read the manual till I mess up a project or 2. I'm stubborn that way

I'm already plotting for a G5 in the summer and an 828... I now realize the quality is well worth the expense.

As per your question regarding the Gina . . . I use a Layla 24/96 and it works great. The Echo stuff is very compatible and trouble-free.

Once you plug it in and do the initial setup, you can virtually forget it's there and just record!
