Tomorrow I'll do a recording in a professional studio (SAE in munich, for those who know this school) which I guess uses mac + protools. I think I'll take a closer look to it, maybe they have such a networked setup there. But I doubt it..

So, back again. I really had close to no time yesterday to talk to people, I was the guy who was chosen to be the one with the camera, because I'm our "multimedia guy" ;-) But I asked the 2nd tone assistant about the software being used in the SAE and he talked about ProTools, Logic, Cubase and Nuendo. I asked him, if he knows Ardour, he said, of course, the guy who wrote that software is right next door! But the guy was gone already. I forgot his name, but it was not Paul Davis ;-) But I guess he might be a contributor or something.
About the networked setup, well, in the control room there was no networked setup, the computer was there and every other hardware. Only the backups are stored on another computer via network.

For those interested, tomorrow we'll get the final product and provide it as free (free in the sense of free beer) download on our homepage http://www.unstucc.de and on http://www.myspace.com/unstucc (I hope a little advertisement is allowed here ;-) ) It's a crossover song with Metal and HipHop, a little bit like Linkin Park.
