Pc TDM HD3 system best for Virtual instuments?
Hi all,
I'd like to find out other Pc systems that are running well for virtual instruments like Reason,Stylus RMX,Atmosphere,Trilogy,Ivory,Plugsounds. The system that i have currently is; HP Workstation XW9300 consists of:- - HP XW9300 Localization Kit - Windows XP Pro - Opteron 270/2.0GHz 2-Core (1st) CPU - NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 - 2GB (4x512MB) DDR-400 ECC reg SingProc - 74GB SATA/150 10K (1st HDD) - HP 250GB SATA 3Gb/s 7200 (2nd HDD) - 146GB U320 SCSI 10K (3rd HDD) - 146GB U320 SCSI 10K (4th HDD) - HP USB Standard Keyboard - HP USB Optical Scroll Mouse - 16X DVD+/-RW, DL, LightScribe, Windows - Floppy Disk Drive - U320 SCSI Controller - w/RAID Pro Tools Software Digidesign 7.1cs9 Xpand Digidesign 1.0.1 Reason Propellerhead 3.0.4 Re-wire 1.7 Atmosphere Spectrasonic Rtas 1.2 Stylus RMX Spectrasonic Rtas 1.5.1c Trilogy Spectrasonic Rtas 1.2 Sage converter Spectrasonic 1.5.1d Core Library Updater Spectrasonic 1.5a Global Vol 6 Plug Sound 1.92 ARP 2600 Arturia 1.0 Ivory Piano Synthogy 1.52 RTAS Auto Tune 4 Antares 4.3.10 Sony Oxford 6 Pack | HD Sony Oxford 6.0 Sony Oxford MediaPack Sony Oxford Waves Platinum Waves 5.0 In my previous post,i mentioned the problem of random crashes when doing midi edits on virtual instrument midi tracks like cut and paste,extending midi notes....stuff like that. The crashed session seemed corrupted and cannot be used again. I'm wondering if it's the Hp machine itself that's causing this or Protools. Any help would be much appreciated Shah |

Re: Pc TDM HD3 system best for Virtual instuments?
Hi Shah,
Doesn't really matter about the HD part of the system. You will get pretty much as much virtual power from an LE system as a HD, as the power comes from the CPU of the computer and not the process cards. Have a look at the Quadzilla Thread in the LE section and you will see what I mean. BTW, I run a HD4 in a chassis with a dual core AMD X2 CPU. I still run into limits with the RTAS and Virtual synths, but pretty much limit free when it comes to AUDIO tracks and TDM plugins and synths. All the plugs you mentioned are either RTAS or VST plugin Virtual Instruments. All the best, Big D
