Using Time Capsule as audio drive w/ Logic Pro
Is anyone doing this and how is it working out for you?
Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - 8 GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.6), iPod Video 5G, and iPhone 1G [2.2.1]
Forget it... even with gigaLAN

Why is that?
Hey, it looks like not all of my message got through.....
But the short version is... I have 2 TC's and the second is an replacement for the first which died (after 18 months ... a power supply hernia.... I have since had it fixed with an external power supply.)

You're better off getting a FW drive for next to nothing and using that.
The Time Capsule is a great idea with an incredibly bad design, but when they die they're easily modified to work again... Just don't expect Apple to fix it.

Thank you.
Well, I thought I would update this post.
I just received my 2TB Time Capsule a few days ago. I copied one of my Logic Sessions over to the Data part of the TC and opened up the session and it played back WONDERFULL! I went another step and hooked up one of my WD Passport USB drives to the USB input of TC and opened up one of my backup copies of one of my Logic sessions and again, it played back WONDERFULLY!
So, to all the naysayers out there that say this does not work, I got news for you...IT DOES!

That's good, as long as you realise it may well die in about 18 months and it'll be the power supply. Unfortunately there seems to be an overheating problem - I even read an article in the national press (The Guardian in the UK) about it lately. Apple seem to have a quality control problem recently, which is surprising and a little disappointing.
These are a new generation of Time Capsules, with new antennae and improved throughput - I would not assume the components on the power supply to be necessarily identical, given that Apple knows about the failure rate of the previous version.
