hey, all. I'm a lurker, currently confined to recording my albums on a 200 MHz Pentium II with 32 megs RAM running Win95 and Cakewalk 8. I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever latency I happen to get when I buy the new computer and put linux on it. :) In the meantime, I wanted to mention indexing as another nice feature to have in a mastering/burning application, and wanted to mention Wavelab as a program I absolutely love mixing and "mastering" (I'm a geek with a PC - I don't know how to master :) with - it's the only program ever built with that "stuff the thing full of features till there's no screen left" mentality that I've actually liked. So we might glean some ideas from them. (Or not - it can be frustrating to have the pointer change shape and function every 50 pixels or so...) I look forward to contributing more as I can - just got my first full-time desk job, so I get to spend the next few months picking out the perfect motherboard, the perfect case, etc... in the meantime, I'll be Lurking, dan Rev.
