Thanks, I've actually been a Peak user since V. 2.0. Is my age showing? I should have been more specific. I need to work in a multi-track session. I'll take my edited dialogue and place it in the timeline with a QT movie. All my sweetening and mixing will be done in HD. This simply is to line the stuff up. I remember with PT free you could use just your Mac CPU and a set of headphones. That's really what I want. I just want to be able to bring a bit of the work load home and maybe see my kids a bit before my 11 year old son grows a beard and my girls begin dating! They're 4 and 8!. Best, Mitch
