no one running a mac tower not on 10.10?
surely?
one of these cards will pay for itself on its first use... a 1hour copy becomes less than 30mins..

I am! but don't have any USB3 drives...

[gigpiglet]

really mitch? pretty much any external drive you buy now is USB3
not collaborating with anyone? or giving clients files?

I'd love one but I've got no slots left

Gareth,
Nope, I was running a good few of bands/other artists through the studio when I was back in wollongong, but keeping all studio time to myself and my own project at the moment. It's only a home studio anyway, nothing that is making me money besides songwriting royalties (hopefully more, soon!).
Whenever I do external work - mainly mixing, some session guitar/vox - it's usually via dropbox.

THAT SAID. I may have to grab one of these from you for a backup solution - I don't like having all my backups in the same place (you know, in case the house burns down, etc...). Thinking of a cloud scenario but not sure about it either... hmmmmmmm

pro studio problems dave!
too much mixing power, not enough slots!

[dave01.cooper]

It's actually f*cking frustrating to be honest. Most sessions we're working on these days are 88.2 or 96 from the get go, thus voices are usually taken up before I can even get stuck into mixing.

Really gotta either:
a - find a chassis
b - start down mixing to 48k
c - go HDX
d - quit and go fishing for a living

i like option D

[gigpiglet]

i like option C... i have an HDX card for sale that will solve all your problems
