Thank you both for those details on how exFAT operates. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Windows prompt I mentioned, that has only appeared for me when copying bin files? I wonder what it reflects, and if it should have any material effect on the bin file when it leaves the exFAT drive and lands on an HFS+ drive and is accessed in Avid. This "Interrupted

Hello all, I've noticed that in Windows, when copying the Avid project folder to an exFAT drive (and it will not happen with an NTFS drive), a Windows prompt for an "Interrupted Action" appears for what seems like every Avid Bin file, asking: "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties? The file [file name] has

Thanks both for all of the followup on the separate audio/video output card caveat. It's much appreciated. Bret

Thanks for the further info; I'm looking up the RME cards to see what's available. I see that something like the HDSPe AIO Pro would have the AES/EBU outs that could directly go into the 8330A, with the volume controller on the side. I think that's the kind of streamlined setup you're mentioning, which makes use of the digital mode on

Thanks for the further input; I hadn't looked hard at the smart monitors and I see there is a choice to be made with the 8330 vs. 8030 perhaps. So the advantages would be the room correction, digital in, optional volume controller, and lower noise floor? I'm not sure if I can take advantage of feeding it a digital AES/EBU signal without adding

Thanks again for the input in this thread: I've been looking harder at the Genelecs since this thread and some other research give me the impression they're a gold standard, and an ideal choice even for my purposes which are serious offline edit sound work (this won't be for mixing). Would it be fair to say they're a cut above the other

Thanks again for your input on all of those components and on what is most important. It's been very helpful.

Thanks for your thoughts on all of these specific devices, that's incredibly helpful. I'll give a harder look at the Motu M2 now. And I did have Adam T7Vs on my short list of possible monitors. Indeed, it looks like the only Genelec near that budget is an 8010A 3", which I assume may not compete with the T7Vs and is more for portability

Sorry for the delay in saying: thanks for this input.

Thank you for the response and for your gear recommendations, I will look into those. The audio mixer would just be for all of the I/O ports they offer (USB, XLR, TRS, 1/4" headphone). They tend to have the XLR outs that audio interfaces usually don't have, and the inputs intended for recording would largely go unused (The models I've seen
