MD: MiniDisc commercial

Hi all! Sony also has MD advertising here in Spain, and I think it has helped - but I've only seen it before movies. It shows 3 or 4 different folks doing all sorts of wacked-out stuff with headphones on - some of it quite physical - and then ends with a guy sitting at his desk recording an

Ok, compared to the card, 79$ are a lot, but it is cheaper than the Midiman Dio 2448 and I think the DIO 2448 is not supported by Linux. Do you know another card with digital in/out cheaper than the 4DWave NX including the ST DBIII module? You also need the NX DB II at $24 I believe, which

Hi Jason, I was going to buy a Soundprofessional AT 853 mic soon. I've heard this is a great sounding mic, but would this also be the solution to the clipping problem? Also, is this one of the best for recording loud indoor (and outdoor) gigs I would suggest looking into Core Sound mics.
