In response to Peter’s question: I use an Audiofile SC32/SAM for recording music, albeit awkwardly. You mention “skip” – guessing you’re in the UK too? Don’t know what all that gear posturing is about from that other chap, to the tune of 50 odd chapters of unrelated response, but I also agree there aren’t many editors in this class. In supporting that, I used a Dyaxis (still have parts from it), related-era Digidesign stuff, and Sadie as BBC Radio use as standard, and have looked over the fairlight MFX etc. Er, desktop audio editors in a PC and motion-picture scoring systems (only the fairlight and Audiofile fall into the latter from that great list) aren’t really the same. Perhaps that battle of nomenclature kicked off with the declaration of: “..real pro end studio hard disc recording system..” -quite wide. 🙂 If you mean serious motion picture scoring and dialogue / sfx non-destructive (all fades/crossfades in hardware etc.) production system, ahh. That’s the ol Audiofile. Though, i’m speaking a few years ago now. heh.
On another note Peter, I have many parts after stripping down a second SC32 with SAM some months ago, and a lot of original software, manuals, bits, screws, cables etc. If you need something, I keep loads around.
Sorry this response is a bit late, but..
