McDSP APB-16 anyone??

[simon.a.billington]

I really don't know where to post this, but it's certainly promising. It's a Thunderbolt Programmable Analog Processor. Release date Q2 2019.

I'm expecting it's going to set us back quite a fair bit, however.

Yeah, that does look sexy as all hell. I’ve got to say the modular channel strip seems to be the latest plugin craze over the last couple of years. I don’t mind though, it streamlines a few things.

Hahaha He did say less than 10.000 USD

My guess is around $999 as if they put a higher price on that box people will svy away. For most hobby studios $1000 is quite an investment so let’s hope they think about this long and hard!

It will be at least double that. I’d say closer to US$3000.

It’s 16 channels of analog. I pay twice that amount for 2 channels!! I’m sure you have too, if not more!! Haha!!

Unless he cheaps out on the components, I can’t see this being an inexpensive box.

That's probably more in the ballpark. It's not going to be cheap, thats for certain!!

Now that this has been out for a while: has anyone had any real world experience with this? Of course sonics are subjective, but what about reliability and stability? And will this connect to a HDX based system?

[WorldStudios]

I have had one for years now. Love it. I use it every day with an HDX system. Never had any issues. It is a lot of money, but it is not expensive.

[martthie_08]

thanks for chiming in, that's good to know! I've always wondered how they get audio in / out of ProTools bypassing the whole HDX subsystem but I guess they figured it out!

Sadly, I never ended up with one myself... I have kids, what can I say. It certainly has made an impression in the industry.
