Stumbled across the program today after weeks of searching for something like it, without knowing that it was pd that out there all the time. Spent the day going thru the help files, learning about how it works, and finding links to various sites -- I'm still a bit overwhelmed here at the end of the day at what it can do. Anyhow, I'm going to use pd for a fairly simple audio recording solution that I'm trying to put together but I'm hoping that someone will be open to lending a consulting hand.

I've got a MOTU 24i ADC (24 ports) that I want to capture some audio out of and save to hard disk, need to run 5+ ports simultaneously, and write .wav files out. I see that pd will allow me to do this, but I'd like to get a jump start on creating the program correctly -- i.e. avoiding some bad design mistakes, and then start extending the functionality myself as I learn more about pd. If there is someone on the list who would be interested in helping me out in a paid consulting capacity please contact me off list (miked at craniumproject.org). This would help me get the foundation of what I'm trying to build together quickly, with a better design than I have the capability to develop, create a good code base, and jump start my project. I have a thought out project spec with flowcharts and a narrative that I can send over to anyone interested - just need to translate it over to pd style info...

While I did search the archive to see if this somehow violates the spirit of the list I didn't find anything - but if it does I'll apologize in advance for the intrusion. Looking forward to playing the role of "the sponge" and soaking up as much info as I can about pd going forward.
