Hi,

I'm trying to set up my Mac Pro in a basement 'bunker' for listening/mixing=
. At the moment the sound just comes out of the Mac monitor speakers.

I already got some recommendations for near field speakers from the forum. =
Do I need any additional hardware to set this up for a quality listening ex=
perience? Do I need to invest in a top-of-the-notch audio card? Is there a =
handy way to take advantage of the S/PDIF digital audio output?

I have Adobe Soundbooth and Cubase SL but I have no idea if these are suita=
ble for editing wildlife sound. What SW do you use/recommend? A friend ment=
ioned Pro Tools ('radio journalists standard')

For listening in a small basement room - would you recommend acoustic foam?=
 Is that at all necessary? Would it enhance listening or is that intended f=
or making/concealing noise.

Anything else I ought to know?

Myles
