Hi Maryrose!
Sorry for your list hick-up.
I store the audio on audio cds, the 88.2khz /24 bit files and the cd
files on a dvd-r and a drobo i-scsi storage unit.
ADK is very helpful.
They installed our audio card and the wavelab software on it. Up to
three pieces of hardware or software for free. You have to pay if you
want them to integrate more of your old stuff.
The graphics card died after a few months I shipped the whole pc back
and they paid for it. You actually talk to the guy who built it for you
if you need help and I don't think they would sell you anything you
wouldn't need.
I am pretty happy with the box and it is very quiet.
Then your brother is a classmate of Tim Brown who won the Heisman trophy
that year. I am not an ND grad either and a liberal arts flunkie.

What are you feelings about support of the product after the sales and initial installation? or have you had to worry about that? BTW. my brother Bill Lane went to ND class of '87 for chemical engineering, he's definitely the smartest in the family, the rest of us are mostly liberal arts flunkies!

>> We are looking for a turnkey DAW system that we can use for digitization of various JFK Library recordings. Nearly all of our recordings are mono and spoken voice only from 1/4" open reel audio tape. It seems that many turnkey DAWs on the market are for music, which would be overkill for us, although it's obviously better to have too much than not enough. As a matter of archival principle, e don't really "mess" with the sound much, so a lot of the fancy recording and editing options would not be required.

We have a custom-made DAW from 4 years ago that works well, but we won't be able to recreate that again. For that we have a custom made Dell computer with multiple XLR inputs that can efficiently process and store files, with Wavelab 6 software, dual monitor, Mackie HR24 audio monitor, Shure FP 33 mixer, Apogee Rosetta 200 digital audio converter, and some sort of Lynx sound card. If we could wave a magic wand, we'd just want another one of these:) Arguably, the hardest part of recreating that would be redoing many of the computer drivers to repurpose the computer as a DAW. I suppose if you could recommend someone who has the expertise to do all of this installation and set-up work, we would be open to that as well.
