ADR/Foley Stage upgrades for after v10

[Craig F]

I don't have a clear vision on what to do so if anyone has any good ideas currently out ADR and Foley stages have HD1s w/ 192s and D-Commands

Assuming the D-Coms stay.

HD Native or HDx card. Don't have top talent so I'm thinking Native for both rooms.

Were I'm really stuck is HD 8x8 or an Omni. Can the Omni pres be controlled like the PRE pres?

It would be cool if the Omni also took care of the X-Mon's duties.


Thanks for looking.

IMHO, for ADR and Foley you are set for life (or at least a LOOOOOONG time) with what you have already.

I don't disagree but at some point computers die and you get a forced OS upgrade

I went through 3 MDD G4s in a month in ADR before upgrading to a Mac Pro
(just glad I had the spare G4s)

Well yeah, there IS that, but maybe make as much dough as you can with your existing systems until they fail (or are forced out by compatibility), rather than putting them out to pasture prematurely?

For instance, my VVTR system is running quite happily on a G5 with a Kona LH; there's no real reason for me to upgrade it until there is a codec that it won't play (and that any of my clients require me to use).

Whatever you decide to do, good luck!! :)

Best,
