[musictlk] Channel Failed On MOTU Audio Interface

[Joshua Lester]

Annabelle, what's MOTU? I've never heard of it. Also, what is
Protools? I've never heard of this either. I'd like to have my own
studio, but I don't understand all of the terminology you are using.
Can you please E-mail me, and explain it. Thanks, Joshua
