Question for Chris Connaker, yes I'm a newbie but I have worked as sound recordist for film & tv, about 20years.
What I have put together so far: 1 x Genelec 7060B powered sub, 2 x 8040A powered monitor speakers, 1 x RME Fireface 400 AD/DA converter. I've just purchased the new MacBook pro 13" with Intel core i7, 2.7GHz processor & 4GB of Ram and loaded with pure music and hoping to get into the high res music game, but this is were I get alittle stuck....computer stuff.
So my question is regarding your comment about Itunes in a Mac being bit perfect, so I take it I don't need to bother with burning software?, also does that mean the internal drive is ok for burning?
Secondly, regarding storage I've 2 options, a WD NAS 2TB(My Book Live) or a standard 1TB dual-drive HD(WD My Book Premium Ed II). On the one hand if I use the HD drive I've less pass thru with the data(less cables etc?), but the NAS give me more features, also I'm guessing there's a prefered file format to store the data with (Fat32,HFS+)? I've been reading alot about this subject on you wonderful site and I'm just alittle unsure at this stage and your valued opion woud be greatly appreciated. So I'm looking to start burning my cd's, downloading Hi res music etc, just need to know how to burn it and where and how to store it. For me it's all about the uncomprssed music the 24 BIT'S!! In the 90's I recorded to 16bit 48k now I record at 24bit 48k and to me the 24bits has changed the way I work.
Any way I say bring it on!!!
Regard,
Scott
