The A/D64x looks like the best product for music since it has digital input/output. This means backing up to a DAT and restoring from a DAT takes no special hardware. Also it means you can master on the NeXT in the digital domain and supply a master on DAT. How many small studios can boast having ADD or DDD capability. Mine will. Good luck, KeNT - still waiting for my cube. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
