Not sure if any of you can help, but I'll ask anyway.
I'm doing some upgrading to my church's sound system. Going all digital with a 32ch Yamaha board(probably a DM1000). The area I need help in is recording. The board has a fiber out with 8 channels going out in the line that I'd like to feed to a PC. Obviously not any PC will do the job, but I don't want to spend a small fortune on one either.
My question is:
Is there a sound card out there that can handle such a feed, and what kind of processor use am I looking at? I was thinking of going with an AMD dual processor system running XP Pro with about 1 gig of RAM, probably just a 40 gig drive for OS and the software, and a 200 gig firewire drive to load the recordings to.
Also, what kind of editing software is out there in a reasonable price range?
Thanks for the help
