Hi Grazie
You were most kind and helpful when I started with Vegas, now I ask again for your help if possible.
Could you look over my stuff and make some comments where I could improve?
Here is where I stand with my system.
I got the JVC monitor you told me about but have not hooked it up yet.
I have ordered a Delta 66 audio card from m-audio.
I promised to upgrade to Vegas 6 + DVDA + Sound Forge 8 at the end of this week, so I am keeping my word.

I still have no Video in except straight from the camera via 1394.
A deck would be nice if it had Large Buttons!

I have ordered the EDIROL R1 with no mic's yet save some hand held Sure mic's a few years old, new old stock.

I built my boom pole for a shotgun from the fine article http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/pole.html ($20.00)

Next I set off on the great Camera Boom Jib adventure http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/jib.html ($60.00)

Seems next thing is to get an a/d d/a converter for video. These really range in price. I found one at Rolland (with jog Controls) but it is past my price range.

Seems I am half way there and wish to begin shoot in the spring of 2006.

Could you please take a few minutes and help me create a list of the rest of the equiptment, cables and things?

I think it would be easy right now to call apple and have them send a G5 with FCP but I don't believe I have time to learn another editor.

With my illness I will be good to see new years 2006, not complaining just another fact.

I want to tell this story before i leave, but low income and lack of experiencee are working against me.

Best Wishes,
Marty

Oh! - "With my illness I will be good to see new years 2006, not complaining just another fact." . . . maybe you want to email me privately about this? Yes?

Back to the "Shopping List". First and last question-sets are always gonna be,"What do you want to do? What are you gonna film and how are you gonna distribute it - what platform will it finally be going out on?

About the FCP thing . . . well, that's kind of a curved ball you threw in there? Maybe you have a reason to do that? Yes?

I don't know the EDIROL R1 nor the M-Audio card - A deck would be great! As to cables and stuff . .. well again, these are directed by WHAT you want to do - yes?

.. . hhmmmm .. . please take care ... again, if you wish, you are welcome to email me . ..

Take care guy!

Best wishes,

Graham "Grazie" Bernard
