>> I assume it works without problems, like sync and "hiccups" when >> doing sound and video together. Is this true? Yep I have to admit I had my doubts at first but I havent had any problems.. I records really well from inside windows but there still is stuff thats just easier to do in DOS. So I find myself rebooting every ounce in a while. ( The DOS software is not really freindly with the Windows stuff).. >>Does your TB card require a lot of memory and IRQ,s to set up? I'm >>heard rumors to this effect. I use probably the cheapest one the Tropez. After talking to Turtle Beach it had the same audio section as the Montery and I had very few problems. >> Do you think a with 32 megs of RAM and a 1G. Par drive >> will work OK? >> I also have 1G of free space on my DOS drive. I would try to get 2 Gig+ PAR drives and more DOS drive space to act as a temporary holding buffer for clips. This way you can record a lot of clips and then put them on the DOS disk. Then take the one you want to join and put them on your second drive combine them and leave the result on your main drive. I have 40MB of RAM and things couldnt be better. I imagine 32 would be the same. >> With the Razor Pro/Par/TB sound card am I headed toward this >> same nightmare of configuration to get it to work? I cant say it will be completely painless but I got it together without a lot of hassle. PC's with more than a video card are some problems. But the PAR and TBC were painless. The new version of Razor 1.0f works well. For cuts only it is really fast. For trasitions and wipes they have to be rendered so they go slower and are very processor dependent. But all in all its a really powerful setup.. Hope this helps Bob from The Design Shop..
