Hey,

You will probably have to pay for a DAW.  The only freeware that I've seen
are demo programs...with no real features.  This is because the programs
are very involved, and have been made for a sophisticated market.  It's
worth it though.  I paid 600 bucks for SAW + and 2200 for my ADAT-XT and
have found that SAW + is probably the best investment.  The flexibility of
a DAW over real time multitrackers is tremendous in post production.  I use
my ADAT for a lot of the real time recording, then transfer the file to my
pc.  Both are digital mediums, so with a digital I/O you could do this
without any sound loss.  There are now cards that can work with the ADAT to
sync it up with a DAW....the ADAT doesn't have SMPTE, but the card will
work with the ADAT fiber optic digital cables, and turn the timecode into
SMPTE for SAW +.  At least that's what I understand from what I've read
about the timecode stuff.  More than likely you will need to get another
sound card to unlock the full potential.  My Card D + by Digital Audio Labs
is an analog I/O which has simultaneous play and record.  It cannot be used
though as a multimedia sound card...so it's more or less just for hard disk
editing.   The conventional multimedia card cannot do simultaneous play and
record.  Anyhow..I hope I answered your questions....please feel free to
ask more.  I may ditch this Jamman mailing list soon..so feel free to
e-mail me personally at brown25@bionicmilk.com  

later,

brown25
