Ruuuuuuddddiiiiii!

Yeah I'm not sure if it's exactly the right terminology but I'll give you two examples. On my Creamware PowerPulsar sound card I have to multi connection interfaces. Onto the first you would connect a "break-out cable". This being a cable with a big computery connector at one end that "breaks out" all the ins and outs i.e. stereo analogue, SPDIF, and MIDI. I also have two firewire like connecors that connect into my "break-out box". This being a 19 inch 1unit high box which has 16 analogue in and out jacks. (AN advantage being that it turns your computer into a virtual desk. Therefore any sound that goes into the computer need not come out again until it's on a CD.)

Make any sense?

Best

It's a bit like a Red Cross food parcel, but for incarcerated individuals. It typicaly contains a cake (with extra ingredients) a set of skington keys disguised as toothpicks and a copy of playboy magazine... In case it all goes wrong!

Moderator's Warning:

Can I remind all forum participants to refrain from taking the piss out of the expression "breakout boxes". I have noticed of recent a certain silliness creeping into this forum and I think it should cease. So no further puns or otherwise on any type of "box". e.g. lunch, post , or "out of".
