You should be able to work with that gear. If your really worried about it though, you could try to work out a barter deal where you tell them you will record a set number of songs for the price of a certain piece of gear. Five songs for the price of my MacPro. Oh that would be niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. l...

Those are all good points. I'm still learning things and I'm afraid that if I charge them a lot per hour then surely something will botch the recording session and things will slow down, wasting their money when it shouldn't. I'm sure it won't happen, but then again, I've never done a paying gig, an...

my last post sucked. this one prolly will too. Long night at work. So after reading the replies again I think I have a solution. I'm going to record them for free and then when the want the cd, I'll just make them give me all of their gear! :P win win, right? I can pawn that shit off on ebay, and th...

Wow, thanks for all the replies everyone! I was gone at work all day and wasn't sure if anyone would respond. Here's some more info. I'm 19 years old and my small studio is in the basement of my parent's house where I live until September(while still being supported by the rents) I don't think I cou...

I'm working things out with a kid I know who is in a "heavy" band. They are looking to record 3-5 songs with me and I'm not exactly sure how much to charge them, or if I even should. I'm kinda young still pretty inexperienced when it comes to recording, but I know that I could produce a product that...

Well it appears that I may have solved this problem. I took out the two stock GBs of RAM and now everything is peachy keen. Unfortunately, now I have 4 random RAM "sticks" (idk what to call them) just laying around. How should I store them or what should I even do with them? Store them in the anti-...

getting another internal HD and recording to that would be pretty much the same thing as recording to an external drive, right? Just faster and less cables? Yep. Just make sure to keep that external drive around for backups! Oh man, you don't have to remind me for that anymore. My macbook's HD rece...

With those settings you mentioned, is PT utilizing all of the cores though? It seems to be. I run a system monitoring app all the time watching CPU, RAM, and disk use, and it shows activity on all eight cores when PT is working. Sweet! I'm going to have to start using all 4 cores all the time from ...

Thanks for the replies man, good stuff! I'm going to try AppleCare in the next few days to see if they have any solutions, even if it's just to contact Transcend or something. And just to make sure I'm doing the right thing... getting another internal HD and recording to that would be pretty much th...

I heard something about Leopard being able to utilize the multiple cores better. like with 10.4 I can only really use all 4 cores when the latency is set at 512 or above. With 10.5 I heard I can use all 4 cores at any setting. Is that true? And thanks for all of the help so far. I'll make sure Trav...

Western Digital Caviar Black drives are spectacular. 32mb cache and 7200 rpm. I'm always a little weary of WD. The Mybook external HD I have from them sounds like a chainsaw going off. It is loud enough to compete with a normal conversation. Do you know if the drive you mentioned will fit in the ma...

I'm not sure about this, but I think that Mac Pros require ECC memory. The Apple support page insinuates that it's required without stating it outright. I know for sure that they ship with it. If you didn't buy ECC RAM that might explain why it's not being recognized. What is ECC memory and how wou...

Unfortunately new macbook pros are only shipping with 10.5. You, of course, knew that. It also looks like most, if not all, are unable to go back to 10.4. Thats where the problems lie. I was actually there for most of this trying to help travis get everything up and running smoothly. As of when he ...

Any suggestions, or should i just UTSF? lol
