7. 7200rpm

either will do the trick.
but a nice external drive (i.e. lacie) doesn't limit you as much as an additional internal laptop hd.
also, look for one that's 5400rpm if you end up going with an additional internal drive. the 7200rpm drives chew up too much power to make the other benifits worth it.

i'd drop 70 for operator...

count me in

thanks guys.
though i do remember trying an extension cord that was 3 to 2 and it'd didn't seem to do the trick, but it's worth a shot

let me know if you've done any other mixes

and thanks

will and extra long usb cable have any effect on sound quality? if so at what length does it start to be come a factor? i'm sure there may be many contributing factors, but i'm in the process of rearranging the 'studio' to make room for a new desk and i'm worried about the length of the usb cable i'...

this seems to help me out...

thanks...
dry/wet would certainly do the trick.
but i think i'm screwed when it comes to compressors and such.

it's kinda odd that there's no on/off envelop for all effects...or is there a reason?

is it possible to have some clips in a track affected by an effect on that track but others within the same track not affected?
is there a way to configure something in the clip envelop to allow this or another way i'm not seeing?

i'd rather not have any more tracks on the go than i already have...
