ess I just assummed
since my tracks were 16 bit then I mix in 16 bit,but I see the
rationale for mixing in 24 bit then dithering back down.
Could I do everything I need to do in the cheaper Wavelab
version(was it Essential)?Would that give me all the tools to
create a master cd for replication(red book and all that stuff I
still haven't gotten into)?
Thanks much for the info David,

>>Hey Aaron,
I tend to use the GeForce FX 5200 series, though they are getting a little
long in the tooth themselves. They have solid 2D performance and horrible
3D performance for a gamer, they're cheap, and they're cool enough some don't
even have a cooling fan--just a heat sink. For example
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E168141211 86
would be a good idea. If you look around there are also dual DVI/dual VGA
cards though one of each tends to be the default.
I tend to use nVidia chipsets with nVidia cards. I usually do NOT use the
nView desktop management stuff. I probably could but it seems to add very
little for what I do and offer another chance for things to go wrong.

The impossible is about to happen. I'm flying back to Boston for Christmas.
First Christmas outside Napa in... hmmm...53 years. Bonnie's daughter lives
there, so the two of us are flying out.
Silly me. Should have checked before today. The only things I can see available
to rent tomorrow (!) are, hmm, a little more expensive than I had anticipated.
If I did this sort of thing more often I would have known to check into the
car at the same time as the ticket. But...
So, do any of you fine Paris folk, who know darned near everything, know
of a source for renting a car for a week, cheap? or anything else I should
know of, or see, or do, while in Boston?
Or anyone need a fast mural done in exchange for a ca
