Re: Best Systems and Components for Win HD/TDM
Quote:
I use just an HD core card and have tons of plug-in DSP power for days via the 4 cores of the Opterons. In fact, I'm just wrapping up a massive 85 track mix with this Quad and HD 1 only. Some of my edit sessions have over a thousand edits and cross fades and the system handles it no problem at all. Just amazing. For stereo music production this is way more than I'll ever use. It is also the most stable system I have EVER used for PT LE and PT HD. I have been using it for months now, 12-14 hours a day and not one problem. This thing just amazes me. If you want power, check out that board. It was made for PT. Shane

Re: Best Systems and Components for Win HD/TDM
>>> DIY System <<<
=================== Tyan k8WE s2895 (non raid version) 2 * Opteron 246 Antec TruePower V2.0 550EPS 2* WD 120 gig IDE 2 gig Corsair CM75SD2048RLP-2700/S Gforce 6200 PCIE, fanless Antec Titan 550 2* Artic Cooling Freezer. Lite on CD burner Magma 4slot PCI chassis with granite digital firewire bridgeboard. Logitech cordless keboard and mouse, 19 Viewsonic LCD. =================================== Some Notes: 1. The system ran fine in the chassis, but is not digi approved. I've recently moved onto the MB and am currently having problems (see here 2. The 3rd card interferes with the IDE connector on this MB. I removed the cable puller from the plug on the IDE cable to enable the card to sit flat and straight. 3. The stock fans are very noisy. 4. The case has good airflow and comes with a decent amount of extras, but it a little tight to work in. I'd recommend getting a bigger one with plenty of elbow room, as these MB are heavy and can be awkward to mount. 5. There are plenty of people with these board about, as they cross over into the high end "enthusiast" market. check out k8we.com for more general info. 6. The graphics board is a POS, but is very small, thin, noiseless, runs cool and has digital out. |

Re: Best Systems and Components for Win HD/TDM
I agree with Shane. I'm totally blown away by the sound and performance. I finally updated/reinstalled all my software (the imaging program didn't work for me for whatever reason) and I have everything live as of last night.
WOW...I love my 192 and quite honestly, the sound quality of playback at 96khz is just plain amazing. I was diddling with Timewarp and direct in'd my Moog...amazing. Shane, Where's the actual specs on doing the d-verb test? Step by step? I'd like to bench mark mine and honestly, I'm not getting the same numbers so I'm sure I'm doing something different. thanks! Bodie

Thunder K8WE has 64Bit PCI-X Slots, Tiger doesnt. Thunder K8WE has SCSI option, Tiger doesn’t. Thunder K8WE has 2 PCI-E Slots with 16 lanes each. Tiger has 1 PCI-E with 16 lanes one 1 PCI-E with 4 lanes only. Thunder has one PCI Slot 32Bit only, Tiger has more. But I only know that my three HD cards are PCI, not if there 32bit? - or PCI-X? Digi? - anyone..

Re: Best Systems and Components for Win HD/TDM
But will my 3 HD (non PCI-e) cards fit in both the Tiger and the Thunder board?

Also, I am curious if it would be possible to use a PCI SATA card (for an external solution, if deisred) in the 32-bit slot, and then still retain full HD3 Accel performance, should it work and be desired. Anyone have access to one of those boards at least?
