Enthusiastic amateur - worked as a presales engineer for a Silicon Graphics company back in the day, so did a fair bit of animation with Alias Wavefront, then Maya.

Still do video editing on various platforms, as well as sound editing.

Sonar and Cubase are my preferred audio platforms.

comment Least expensive microphone for hiss-free PC recordng
Ahh - if it is a USB headset, then my answer is less relevant in this case - you aren't recording in through the sound card; instead, your headset has an amplifier and an Analogue to Digital converter. So any analogue hiss will be in the circuit prior to the A/D and any digital interference will be after that. In your case, you should be able to find a better microphone.

Hi Karan - I think 'am I too ambitious' is not an easily answered question, but you could edit your question to ask about what techniques/experience would be required.

comment 120fps 720p footage with real time playback on Ubuntu? + editing?
Have you had a look at what your machine is doing, eg run top to see load. You need to find out where the bottleneck is- is it IO, CPU or something else.
