I gave Creamware a call....

tech-support said first Giga-3 has to be released before they could work on new drivers. They also said that all drivers will be updated at the given time...


And another GSIF-2 vote !!

I'm also of the opinion that all samplerates should run now whithout hiccups. But it'll still take some time till DVD audio will dominate the market. According to statistics I've seen 98% of all CD buyers are quite content with the quality of the CD. That doesn't mean that industry will not force ...

It seems to me that Steinberg has EXCELLENT people in their R&D since they have had the ability to engineer ASIO and VST as well as introduce VSTi. In fact I was quite a big fan of Nuendo in the early 1.x days (I never was a huge fan of Cubase VST). However ...

IMO, which istallation method (ACPI or Standard PC) should be chosen depends on what kind of configuration you have. Problems whith PCI based cards did very often in the past have their cause in an unlucky arrangement of cards. To assign those problem cards the right IRQ has most often been the key ...

Well, I'll post my ACPI or Stadard PC findings into the other thread:

Hi again

IIRC It's the Northbridge which manages/determines PCI bus bandwidth. The Southbridge isn't so critical.


Am I right in assuming...that for the execuations of those delay based Creamware plugs (reverbs) the northbridge is more crucial than the ...

Using an (older) i860 dual Xeon system here just fine in ACPI mode. Note that my SCSI controllers sit on the 64bit PCI bus and NOT on the 32bit bus (which means that the audio cards pretty much have it to themselves).
This is a touchy subject imo. I don't know ...

AMD 760MPX (Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard)

You are concerned about all PCI devices sharing the same ...

Think most modern MB benefitts from acpi mode.

sorry, no dual cpu effort here yet

thanks Arela, but personally I wouldn't put it that way necessarily, still standard PC ...

Hi guys!

I am about to buy a Dual CPU system, but don't know exactly which road to take. I'm clearly lacking experience whith such Duals.... in fact I've never built such a system on my own. Personally I consider the Dual Opterons as still too expensive....so the candidates are....


Dual Xeon ...

Thank you very much "ASTRO" and "GARY" !

It's just that I´ve never seen such a ps with a phone plug (they're maybe more common in live use?). I will contact some Rane dealers on this matter and will try to find the appopriate ps myself. Thanks again!

thanks Gary!

but unfortunately that means that there's no way to use a Rane MS-1B US model in germany unless you have some sort of Voltage converter...

/Bernahard

Lemke, are you around? Or does anybody else know?

I have a question....

What kind of powerchord does the MS-1B use? Or how does the power extension behind the unit look like? Although I´ve visted the Rane Homepage I wasn`t able to find out what kind of power connection this unit has. According to ...

thanks Lemke,

in other words it's very transparent and natural sounding. I think I will buy two of those. Unfortunately the german street price is €269 compared to $149 in the US. I think I will try to order them in the US.

According to one Nuendo user, this pre did come out second in a direct shootout whith all the higher-end units. But this is only information from second hand since I haven't heard it myself. But one things's clear...your payment doesn't have to compensate any cosmetic ...

Yes, one of its strengths is to capture transients very good. Therefore it is very well suited for things like "Acoustic guitar". Technically...behind good transient responses you'll find well designed powersupplies and a frequency response which doesn't stand in the way of reproducing those fast ...

Btw. I can't speak for the compressor but the green Micpre is very silent !

I own two Green Eqs...

Not only is the EQ great sounding, but the PRE also shines. The PRE is much better than the ones of current platimun series! But you have to be looking for that discrete sound that doesn`t hype upper frequencies and always stays neutral and natural, very similar to the ...

Yes, and it has Realtime Convolution plus VST support if I´m not mistaken. One more reason to have everything working in XTC mode!
