Feels good to put aside the quirks and dive in at the 4k end.

I dont suppose anybody knows how much time (secs) a 4k with 256mb of memory can hold in 24 bit?

I have been advised not to load it right up to 512 because of latency problems on sample playback.

Regards

You know,I expand it to death (512 mb)and i got no problems with latency and stuff like that.I put a Western Digital 80gb HD and a PlexWriter 48/24/48 and I'm looking forward for the 8 outs.

How many seconds of 24bit sampling can the 4k hold?. Just wondered if you could look into the box and easily find out?

Holy Shnit

Thats means I can basically record entire vocal sections and layer them over the drum and key tracks.... Great news although cubase will take a backshelf now as I mainly used it formixing down and vocal alignment.

Have always wanted to move away from the monitor and now I can.
