Ok, I am proud HD user.. just musing today that I was amazed that in this day and age we are still using TDM systems and its better. Native is still not up to it..

THEN>>>

one of our newer composers here just got a hot new MAC PRO. I said we should do a plug in power test, thinking it would make me feel good, but no!
He can on his 48 stereo tracks 240 instances of WAVES SSL channel!! You press play.. no problems.
My HD 3 (one accel card) can get about 40 or so instances... thats ALL!

I am feeling silly....

Must be time for a un-handicapped naive pro tools system digi?


all the best

You did not say which Mac you were using- the Intel Machines are very cool, but do you have time to wait for all of the TDM plugins you are using to get updated to work? What about getting into a MacPro with your TDM hardware- then you have nice i/o, functional TDM plugins + tons of Native horsepower.

just a thought..
