Thanks Mark, and grayter1.
#Re: 2i4, I will look at this item to see if it suits my needs, which are not great at this stage, I need the interface to record pod casts, and further down the road, to record vocals.
And to this end, I plan to use a rode nt1-a, this will give me good audio for pod casts, and its not too bad on vocals either, at least for the money, can anyone see problems with this mic and the focusrite, the rode needs quite a bit of gain, how much gain does the focusrite provide, I ask because though I understand the principle of gain I don't know where the mic spec outlines how much is required, it only states sensitivity, which am presuming is linked to amount of gain required, for example a mic with a sensitivity of - 40 would not do to well on an amp with only -20 max gain, my other choice is the Komplete Audio 6, feel free to comment.
There is a setting in windows, "somewhere", that turns off a feature related to hibernation state, turning this off does not affect hibernation, but it keeps more processes running at a little more expense on the battery end, but its worth it if it resolves the hibernation / slow playback issue.
#Re: a mac setup with Focusrite, a mac or macbook would be my choice too, but for now am stuck with a pc laptop, Its odd too how apple seems to send out their stuff and it actually works as it should yet windows is so temperamental for want of a better word, I bought both my children mac book pros to avoid the never ending windows saga.
