Ha ha …………….

I cannot even remember all of the recording medians I’ve used through the years. I do remember starting my mastering using the first Finalizer when it hit the market. Currently my Finalizer is used on my bands PA system.

Oh, and all of this is running on a custom Sweetwater Creation Station PC.

Thanks for that, Byron. Oh well, you should be well prepared for all the issues that come with video NLEs :-)

actually I'm using two differnt NLE's, Vegas Pro 8 & Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. I started on Vegas then switched over the PP a couple of months ago. Vegas didn't quite fit the workflow I was use to in Sonar, I'm real heavy in to automation and the key framing functionality of Vegas IMO is somewhat limited but I do prefer Vegas when working with MPEG files cause I find it processes the MPEG compression, i.e. the GOP's easier the PP. So I use both.
