I often record live drums at home or take it to a studio as a portable unit. The analogue tape is definitely more forgiving to my very unrefined (read spastic) recording technique. I use logic for most of my recording, but still find applications where the 688 is a better or more convenient option. I'll also admit that the digital/analogue hybrid studio appeals to me. I've never had a "tape too slow" error or a "try to save song" dialog from the 688. Most of the time Logic works fantastically for me, and I wouldn't be without it, but it is still capable of making me look like an idiot when I have to tell the guitar player who is half way through the greatest solo he's ever played that he has to start again because logic say's the disc is too slow. Up till now I have synchronised Logic to the 688 using SMPTE/MTC. I cut the audio files up using the scissor tool and it stays in pretty good sync. I hope that the MMC-100 will make it so that I can leave the scissor tool alone. How does MMC work? If I am sending MMC should I see Midi activity on the l.e.d's of the studio 5 the way it shows up MTC? Can I select the midi port that it is sent to? Do I have any idea at all? Evan
