Default Re: NEW DIGI PCIE Expansion Chasis

That has "Sucker" written all over it. How about spending that money on a new 8 core MacPro, dumping your TDM plugs, use that MacPro to run all your plugs as RTAS. I own 3 TDM Plugs and that's it. Revibe, Soundtoys, and Eleven. I count Soundtoys as 1 plug only, because I only use Echoboy as TDM of all the plugs in the bundle. Echoboy and Eleven are only TDM because I need to track through them, other than that, I run all other plugs as RTAS and "Never" have an issue with it. Once I'm done tracking, I change the TDM instances of those plugins to RTAS.

I love Protools HD, but not, let me say this again, "NOT" for running my plugins. I have an HD2, but could easily do with an HD1. To me, in this day and age, the Cards are for I/O, Hardware Inserts, No Latency, Mixer and Aux's and the like, not for running plugs. Just no need for it.

I just don't get it.
