My boss wants whatever system we get to have compatibility in our sound room. I am vaguely familiar with Pro Tools/Project and Saw/Saw+ etc. However, I'm not up on the latest digital video systems. I was wondering: Is compatibility an issue if all the digital video systems have digital audio? Keeping in mind whether the system was Mac or PC base, shouldn't I be able to have digital audio software different from the digtal video software as long as they are saved in the same file format ie WAV? Also, is anyone familiar with Bars&Pipes Professional by Blue Ribbon Soundworks, or Tidal Wave by Digtal F/X?

I dimly recall that Media Vision supplied a disk with the card that installs a driver of their own design. I suggest you dig out that disk and go through the full installation procedure. Be sure to select Media Vision's driver and add it in "Drivers" in the Windows "Control Panel." I still have my disk if you've lost yours. E-mail me if you need further help. BTW, I switched to a TeleWave Audio 32 wavetable card from TeleVideo Multimedia. It has a great piano sound but goes out of tune on the high pitches for certain instruments like guitars. The pitch bends are weird, too.

The two factors to look at are: 1) What is the sound format (.wav, .au, .ram, etc.) and 2) what is the sampling rate? There are plenty of utilities to convert from one format to another. But how many hoops will you have to jump through (i.e., conversions) to get your work done? > Also, is anyone familiar with Bars&Pipes Professional by Blue Ribbon >Soundworks, or Tidal Wave by Digtal F/X? Bars & Pipes was originally written for the Commodore Amiga computer and has been ported to the PC. I've used some of their other products but not B&P. You might give them a call in Atlanta.

I asked a question earlier this week and only got one response, but it was enough to get me thinking about more questions. I work for a video production house which is about to go non linear (THANK GOD). I work as the head of the audio department and have been asked a lot of questions My boss wishes whatever non linear video editor we get to be compatible with non linear audio editor we purchase. As of today we have neither non linear audio or video. I am excited about Avid and Plum becuse they use Digidesign and Saw (respectively) for their audio editing. My question for everyone is: As we shop for a non linear video editor, what question do I need to ask about the systems non linear audio editor?

The only thing i remember was to take a look at the source for Csound. Do you remember what they were? thanks, arne Arne Claassen WWW: Duthie Associates, Inc. ============================Hint to the Mac user============================= When talking to a Windows user, be sure to always adopt a condescending tone.
