Default Re: Advice needed on HD3 rig setup

Observe the slot order on the cards, should be Core, Accel card, Process card.

If you have a lot of outboard gear, a patchbay's not a bad idea, though more time consuming to wire/plan.

Keep in mind that regardless of how many physical I/O a 192 has with add on cards, it can only access a total of 24 at a time (i.e. 16 ins and 8 outs or 8 ins and 16 outs).

Voice count is how many simultaneous tracks can play at a time(you can have more tracks than voices if they aren't all playing at the same time). Using RTAS plugins will reduce this number. Your settings for this will likely vary depending on your session. Best bet is to start a session with as many voices as possible, then free up the DSP later if you need it.
