well i finally got to run the firewire 410 last night. taped the local band that i archive for (keep on the lookout for a torrent if your interested)
first impressions are great. i havent been able to do any critical listening, but it sounds great
had a few issues, like one time hitting 2 gigs and not realizing it for 3 minutes... as i was using soundforge that doesnt have an auto split :( looks like i will be using wavelab from now on since im doing 24/96
i did a little experimentation also, ran xy one set and DIN for one set and a 4-5 song encore
did half the show in 24/96 and half in 24/48 to do some comps there also
the lights on this thing are definantly a wook/drunk magnet, it has the annoying light similar to the mme that says its on, and a bright ass light that is red saying phantom is on, and them a green light and clip light for each channel. the green ones dimming with the signal strength
i was 20ft from anyone, and watched a kid go straight for my stuff, grabbed the picturebook and 410 and tossed them off my nova 5, like maybe he was trying to get a beer out of the cooler(that was actually my gear bag instead) or something.... and also had a guy actually sit his beer on my laptop (that was closed) and expect it to be cool....
good solid night of tunes though, with just a few mishaps, but youl have that when running strictly laptop like this

+T for the first field test. Glad you like it.
I often obstruct the front of the unit so that the hippies don't get drawn into the lights. ;)

i will definantly be doing that from now on.... i just didnt think that it would be that bad last night... never underestimate a crown full of drunken rednecks though

unlike wavelab, soundforge does not record directly to hard disc, so soundforge will record a .wav file for an indefinite period of time. the catch is that you can't save a file over 2 gigs as a .wav file, but you can save a file larger than 2 gigs as a .w64 file.

starting with ver6, SoundForge records direct to the hard-drive. just point its temp space(under options/preferences) to the drive where you want to record to.
