Hardware/Software

This new computer I bought is really saving me. It has the most recent version of Final Cut Pro, CS3, Mac the Ripper, Soundtrack (although I'm looking into a cheap or trial version of a better audio editing software, or just scheduling time in the lab on Pro Tools). I'm also going to spend the weekend looking for some upgraded audio equipment to invest in (at least a basic lav mic and a good shotgun). One of the main reasons for wanting to do a final project rather than just finishing with a class is that it gives me a chance to boost my equipment collection and ensure I have a good handle on how to use all the software and equipment I do own.
