Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
Just for the record, my system works with no issues (see my signature). Also, I do not have a noise issue with my Omni.
Obviously, the choice of an I/O box is dependent on your individual needs. For me, I wanted to see how the HD Native performed before adding any additional I/O. I am very impressed with the Omni performance and the converters are just fantastic. But, I/O is limited so I will be adding an HD IO (16x16). As long as you have a relatively current computer, HD Native should not dissapoint. Hope this helps, Greg

Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
looking at the cost and proven ability of an older HD system.....today, compared with anything new.....today
well, I've gone with a ilok PT HD 8.0 asset ($75) core card ($689) and a 192 digital ($799) and a dell 690 with 2Xdual3.2procs ($350) with 10 gigs of ram ($150) and by way of the 192's legacy port either my adat bridge/24 ($175) that I can swap with my 888/24 ($175) ...should i need to....and I'm searching for a used accel card for $500...(laugh as you will - one accel card just went on ebay for $530 this morning..ha ha $30 way more then I'm prepared to pay - yup I can wait - ha ha) as what can I say? I'd rather buy cheap beer then spend excessive coin on teck (been buying both now for 30 years...this year i made a decision...cheap beer over teck) ...although I have seven 1970's strats - which were high teck in their time...so that's got to count for something...ha ha...maybe...now back to the cold cheap beer... all in (excluding the beer and the strats) for - ta da - $2,913!!! Before I bought all of the above (with the exeption of the accel card, as i'm still looking) I already had a few nice pre's with lightpipe capability (including aes-ebu) ...so really...I feel great with an almost $3k spend to transition from 3 LE to HD...hell $3k...that got you a little over a M1 in the day...ha ha...love today!!! the cost to transition could even gets less if i was to sell my 1. Original Mbox 2. My Mbox 2 Pro, and 3. my Digi 003r but I'll keep them..as they work great as audio interfaces with my avid video suites...everything usually 'CAN' have a purpose....if you try hard enough So I'm cool for abit...with my ,,,,40(ish) I/O : HD2 system for under $3k..I mean...why wouldn't I be?..but please note I'm following this thread...so please take that as a challenge and show me where I've screwed up...ha ha...cause I'd love to learn/know |

Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
Filmusic,
I don't think you have screwed up at all (except for the cheap beer part). You've put together a system that meets your needs and you seem happy with it. Doesn't get any better than that. But,..... I do think you need to revisit your committment to cheap beer. This is one area where price is not a factor and buying the highest quality, most recently brewed beer enhances your quality of life. Greg

Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
ha ha ...now i must state that i've hidden the complete truth from you a tad -as simply because a beer being cheap does not always make it a poor beer, with consideration to quality
case-in-point i'm in Shanghai, China where i can get a cold 700mil bottle of Tsingtao (from the island of Tsingtao, settled by the Germans a few hundred years back) for around 40cents Cnd at my local cornerstore...yup, you guessed it correctly that calculates to 10 huge cold beers for $4.00 (God I love China!) (ha ha...now today $4 is about all what a digi 882 is worth on the open market) long live cheap (German influenced) beer! all modern teck...may you eventually R.I.P.....worthlessly...forever... but, a cold beer...and a 1970's strat...well...may your combined inspiration transcend time...now back to that cold 'cheap' beer,,,,glug! |

DIGIMIDI is correct. Some people seem to think that the mixer runs on the HD native card. It doesn't. I think the confusion sets in because when you're using Low Latency Mode that's the 1 time that the mixer is handled by the Native card. Most don't bother to use LLM - there's typically no need for it. |

Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
Unless its cheap enough to send to Black Lion for their upgrade, which would likely make it sound better than the 192

Re: Why Native vs. DSP Cards?
True, but I have yet to hear anyone not happy with the result and it beats $1400 for a used 002 with the BLA mods
