Audio Units, Core Audio, and the Powercore Firewire Box
Is it a gimme that the Audio Units plugs are going to run on LE? I'm looking at ways to increase efficiency, i.e., get faster (and sound better). I'm on a TI book/002/Digimax LT system now, but am taking a hard look at the G5/Powercore/Apogee as an upgrade to the system. I think that I'm sold on the G5, pretty close on the Apogee converters, but looking at the new Powercore Firewire, I'm wondering if maybe I can double up and really get it moving along. I'm assuming that the difference, although I've never used a HD system, is going to be shocking.
So, the question is.... When Core Audio support shows up, does that make the Audio Units plugs a new option for us PTLE users? I look at the price of a HD system versus the 002, plus a G5, plus a Powercore Firewire card, and I wonder if I'm going to have all the power that I need. Price versue performance, I looks like a good solution. Maybe add some new converters into the mix, and I have a very serviceable solution, albeit minus some of the hotter TDM plugs and the number of voiceable tracks. A rough estimate in my head put the price tag at about 6k. Six grand I can do, 30k for a new HD system, I really can't do that. And, as an afterthought, does Core Audio also put me into the position of being able to use Logic 6 if I'd like to? Ok, discuss. |

Re: Audio Units, Core Audio, and the Powercore Firewire Box
This has been discussed many many times. Please search before asking.
No Audio Units wont work with PTLE. Only RTAS. I don't see that changing anytime. If powercore does RTAS, than you'll be ok/ Yes, powercore is a nice upgrade, but I didn't dog the reverb on the pci version. Everything else was high quality. |

Using the speed of processors these days along with outboard reverb via spdif and audiosuite plugins you should be able to keep your system running as smooth as glass.

Re: Audio Units, Core Audio, and the Powercore Firewire Box
Audiounits will never run on LE, digidesign ProTools is proprietary software. Powercore, likewise, will also never be compatible - Digidesign makes a product known as TDM or HD which fulfills this area of the market.
Searching in your friend, try it sometime. |
