#PAR vs Options
>> 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

>> 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

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
