Hello Digi Forum

[Tamar]

Thought i'd say hi and introduce myself to the forums.
I'm a 36 year old musician from England. I've been playing with bands for around 25 years now and for the last few years have been experimenting with digital based recording and producing. I started a while back with a Roland VS840 hardware recorder and an old Akai S900 sampler i bought from a local radio station. I have recently been using Cubase and various plugins and VSTi's and have learnt a lot and enjoyed the experience but for various reasons have just placed an order for the 002 rack system. I have little hands on experience of using Pro Tools, other than from harrasing the sound engineers while recording in commercial studios with constant inane questions, but i'm really looking forward to joining the Pro Tools community. The fact that nearly every studio i've been in uses Pro Tools is also a bonus
I've been looking through some of the forum archives and it's obvious there are a huge number of extremely knowledgeable users here. I'll try and keep the annoying newbie questions to a minimum, promise.

Thanks
Tamar

p.s, here's my specs.

Asus Dual Xeon motherboard
Dual Xeon 3.06 (I know pro Tools is not optimised for dual CPUs but i use a lot of other audio software as well as Pro Tools, i'll also be using a lot of plug ins so i'm hoping for decent results from assigning one of the processors to PT and running everything else on the other.
80gb system HD
Two 200gb Seagate Serial ATA drives (at the moment i use the second purely as a backup of the first, but i'm interested in utilizing both for simultaneous audio recording)
2gb DDR333 ram
Digi 002R rack
Various beat up instruments acquired over the past 25 years.
I'm in thr process of moving my system in to a rack mountable case so that i can bolt it and the 002R into a 6U flight case for transporting to rehearsals etc.
