I think it's like a hundred dollars fifty dollars 5200 dollars is -- You're gonna have to CME.

More than one sound card at one time. The thing is is that computers don't really like using island sound card really kind of freaks him out and makes things not work with they're supposed to India and when you have a piece of audio software. Like pro tools or even audacity you have to tell it what sound card you're pulling -- the audio front. On and -- hasn't it kind of bridging this together you're gonna get sync issues you're gonna get weird rocky problems on windows. You're talk about is -- for all. That was the one that's yeah. The bridge you read that fat she is I think -- sound cards at the same time that's -- could -- yeah -- if you split the stereo track content into mono which if he's doing audience that he probably doesn't -- do prepare because he probably on some decent sound upstairs sense going to be and we are going with that. I would assume. So yet if you we have we found some forums on the Adobe forms actually mr. Smith who are unofficial IRC chat found that the army. It's funny don't it forms an -- talk a little bit about this exact problem so will will include a link to that show notes. And yet so go check out and you know contribute to discussion yourself."

" popular question the -- I bought a big -- and drive and it's not a little labels and -- Seagate the world's biggest maker of hard drive has a whole page dedicated. To this very problem it's a fascinating -- yet it's not it's typically not a buffer for an accessible sectors it's it's way more knowing."

" The whole -- it's like reassigning sectors. Actually the storage industry standard for measuring drives is a decimal which says that kilo byte is equivalent to a thousand bytes that's pretty much the standards for ancient. However the rest of the computer industry's buying there were killed -- is equal to 10241024. Bytes because. Well -- que -- was close to a thousand and everybody's working like 512. In multiples of two but basically. It's an annoying in the entire computer industry uses kilos say ten point four except for the storage industry. Now another -- and -- com has this little -- simply put decimal and binary translates the same amount of storage capacity. Let's say wanted to measure the distance from point to point B. This is from point a to point -- is one kilometer or point 621 miles it's the same distance but it's reported differently due to the measurements. She's very easy. Yeah -- going to go into the whole area cluster sizes in the format -- drives -- clusters of small -- drive -- of of violence can -- cluster -- can also minimize -- maximize -- reported. And out of storage on your drive. These is an -- that we're back today and really like unlike the great monitor debacles a few years ago gamers never back in the -- opposite ever heard changes that are sizes. The report the size of the CRT if it was recovered by the -- up like this seventies the Turkey supported Internet as well looks like four inches -- so annoying so. Basically this standard open -- Two it basically make you actually mr. divisible screen. There's been no great move -- corrected the discrepancy on hard drives you know it's annoying and in every time you buy -- hard drive it's."

" Pisses me off half times and sometimes there is crud to pay -- click on the hard drives -- like like on windows especially and I need to be a hater. I'm a Mac and it hit. But -- but. It didn't superfluous like software on antitrust. You can just delete -- and -- is I've actually."

" Purchase and drive from Mac vendors where they've they've actually put the logic of what we call shovel ware on the cut us free and it makes it seem like you're getting a bargain that's nice but any case the whole decimal by Mary drives size discrepancy probably -- gonna change any time soon it's basically. Storage industry uses decimals basically kill -- thousand mostly computer industry uses kilo. As time and money for annoying but. It is what it is."

The multi part question are there any decent sound recording cards which have three or more inputs -- all here. Thank you Patrick the goal is to input the sound and multiple channels at once. Well serious point it's got its multi track record multi track record that is -- that is what you are looking for him. And also is there any software which runs on an -- box not -- system which can record from multiple sound cards Apple wants. That's because also thinking about just using several cards in one computer because I have several one inputs don't cards. Are so that say interesting question of look at the first 11 okay and what I think you're looking for is some kind of external. Audio interface device to act."

" CDC. And audio and it's really cool ones like. It's so important output 350 bucks company's sales person that come right you're not find one that's three inputs really it's kind of it's more like you know four age sixteen. Before that kind of thing exactly. -- I don't really know what you're gonna find in your price range coolest looking for something that's refurbish our experience. I think it's like a hundred dollars fifty dollars 5200 dollars is -- You're gonna have to CME. Not a lot of money for this kind of stuff we actually fans of software that might allow me -- together anxious right -- have a sound cards are ready and if you're not willing to plunk down 1500 dollars for like a double a three. Our something from -- the unicorn something that's really gonna -- high and he's here he's going to last you for really really long time. If you don't want that M audio recommend yeah. And I am on a firewire device is at home values -- has -- and went on anyone more than that. There are -- managing -- free software solutions. That you can use that will enable you to use. More than one sound card at one time. The thing is is that computers don't really like using island sound card really kind of freaks him out and makes things not work with they're supposed to India and when you have a piece of audio software. Like pro tools or even audacity you have to tell it what sound card you're pulling -- the audio front. On and -- hasn't it kind of bridging this together you're gonna get sync issues you're gonna get weird rocky problems on windows. You're talk about is -- for all. That was the one that's yeah. The bridge you read that fat she is I think -- sound cards at the same time that's -- could -- yeah -- if you split the stereo track content into mono which if he's doing audience that he probably doesn't -- do prepare because he probably on some decent sound upstairs sense going to be and we are going with that. I would assume. So yet if you we have we found some forums on the Adobe forms actually mr. Smith who are unofficial IRC chat found that the army. It's funny don't it forms an -- talk a little bit about this exact problem so will will include a link to that show notes. And yet so go check out and you know contribute to discussion yourself."

" Yeah it's it's hard his its its really -- is you would like. -- should realize in the Sony Vegas lately have been I still use audacity a death he's audacity is great audacity is is amazing it's a free open source mortgage recording software."

" It's sixteen tracks I'd -- sitting and that is on the -- is another one that's really popular and that has multi track capabilities also.

But then the search for Craigslist and eBay to find some on here that people are trying to get rid of pawn shops times."

" And microphones are expensive house settled. Literally the government to change.

Bang it thanks so punk rock the other program."

" Moore -- the microphone. Next question go to Dave wasn't about hard drive sizes he's wondering. -- buying new hard drive for example 120 by two and install in my machine reach -- 112 gigabytes. The whole 101024. Bit gigabyte ratio retailers like to talk about or something more like a buffer for an accessible sectors have been bothering game and it's it's actually this is a classic -- yet this is a --"

" popular question the -- I bought a big -- and drive and it's not a little labels and -- Seagate the world's biggest maker of hard drive has a whole page dedicated. To this very problem it's a fascinating -- yet it's not it's typically not a buffer for an accessible sectors it's it's way more knowing."

" The whole -- it's like reassigning sectors. Actually the storage industry standard for measuring drives is a decimal which says that kilo byte is equivalent to a thousand bytes that's pretty much the standards for ancient. However the rest of the computer industry's buying there were killed -- is equal to 10241024. Bytes because. Well -- que -- was close to a thousand and everybody's working like 512. In multiples of two but basically. It's an annoying in the entire computer industry uses kilos say ten point four except for the storage industry. Now another -- and -- com has this little -- simply put decimal and binary translates the same amount of storage capacity. Let's say wanted to measure the distance from point to point B. This is from point a to point -- is one kilometer or point 621 miles it's the same distance but it's reported differently due to the measurements. She's very easy. Yeah -- going to go into the whole area cluster sizes in the format -- drives -- clusters of small -- drive -- of of violence can -- cluster -- can also minimize -- maximize -- reported. And out of storage on your drive. These is an -- that we're back today and really like unlike the great monitor debacles a few years ago gamers never back in the -- opposite ever heard changes that are sizes. The report the size of the CRT if it was recovered by the -- up like this seventies the Turkey supported Internet as well looks like four inches -- so annoying so. Basically this standard open -- Two it basically make you actually mr. divisible screen. There's been no great move -- corrected the discrepancy on hard drives you know it's annoying and in every time you buy -- hard drive it's."

" Pisses me off half times and sometimes there is crud to pay -- click on the hard drives -- like like on windows especially and I need to be a hater. I'm a Mac and it hit. But -- but. It didn't superfluous like software on antitrust. You can just delete -- and -- is I've actually."

" Purchase and drive from Mac vendors where they've they've actually put the logic of what we call shovel ware on the cut us free and it makes it seem like you're getting a bargain that's nice but any case the whole decimal by Mary drives size discrepancy probably -- gonna change any time soon it's basically. Storage industry uses decimals basically kill -- thousand mostly computer industry uses kilo. As time and money for annoying but. It is what it is."
