Magma expansion chassis question
Hi. I have an 8-core 2.8GHz. MacPro with HD3 Accel. I'm wanting to get about 2 more PCIe slots and was looking at the Magma ExpressBox 4 setup. Does anyone know if this works with PT? I'm assuming I would put all of the HD Accel cards in the chassis and could use the computer's PCIe slots for the host card and a UAD card or two. Is that correct?
Thanks, Jeff |

I have a HD6 on an expansion|HD on a QUAD G5 and this obsolete machine can instantiate OXFORD EQ.s and DYNAMICS on all tracks of ANY session size, apart from my computer and chasis being abandoned by DIGI, this seems not the time to make a compulsive buy, review the facts, gather intel, its a transition moment, DIGI is giving away systems with more than a 50% discount, to me they are trying to get rid of stock, there is something cooking, I can smell it. |

Re: Magma expansion chassis question
I'm looking into adding a Magma PE64R to my HD3 (PCI-X non Accel) rig. My Dual G5 2.5Ghz just turned 5 years old and in my mind, it's time to upgrade the computer...things are getting pretty sluggish. Obviously, I'll be waiting to see what Digi unveils at NAMM this week.
I'm planning on holding onto my HD cards if at all possible so it seems the PE6R4 will be the move. Anyone have any experience with the PE6R4 with 3rd party converters? I have a mixed bag of AD/DA converters: Digi 192i/o, Lynx Aurora 16 (w/ LT-HD) , and Apogee Rosetta 800 (w X-HD Card)...all clocked to Big Ben. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Apogee converters don't play nice with the whole expansion chassis game...or there was some added latency? Anyone have experience with Apogee Converters, Lynx Converters and ProTools HD v8 with a recent MacPro and a Magma PE6R4 ?? Thanks.
