Hello, I am writing on behalf of my wife Jeanette. We went to the London Sounds Expo and saw the Focusrite Liquid Mix. It seemed absolutely fantastic for three reasons. 1. Small hardware control panel via Firewire. 2. World class EQs and Compressors. 3. Uses virtually no CPU. Does anyone else use it? I was told by Focusrite that it now works with PCs too. From an operational viewpoint, it should be relatively easy to learn the Compressor and EQ knobs. We want to buy one and initially have Jeanette use one compressor and one EQ and then as she gets used to it, then expand to other Compressor and EQs within the Liquid Mix. Again, is there anything that might affect Caketalking?

Gord, I don't know if you remember, when you were here, you determined that this grounding noise was coming from the computer's soundcard, and that nothing could really be done about it. Whatever it is though is also coming out in the audio recordings. It's covered up when the beat is playing, but if there is a blank spot you can hear the noise in the background. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Omar Binno
