Motherboard for Pulsar, POCO and UAD

Post by sandrob »

I guess that answers to my question is already here on the forum, but my English is bad and my knowledge of computers is even worse, so please if somebody can give a concrete answer which motherboard will work flawlessly for my Pulsar2 +, POCO and UAD?!

Thanks in advance. :)

Thanks for the offer, pranza :)
Unfortunately, arrangement of slots on this motherboard does not suit me. :/

Yes! Korcula is nice :)

yes, although an update to win8 does block a couple of DAS plugins. http://forums.planetz.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32720&

otherwise, win8 works well. you would need to purchase v5.1, if you don't already own it.

in 64bit windows, you cannot use XTC mode, or the STS samplers. the older step sequencers also don't work correctly in Vista/win7/win8.

ok, well win7 and win8 are the same, as far as audio apps go. i'd just stay with win7. again, everything will work well but no STS and no XTC.

Probably i'll stay with win7 too, but I like to know all possibilities.
I dont use STS and XTC.
I use Masterverb but in monitoring only.

Which is it ?
Clicking on pic doesn´t enlarge, so no chance to read the printout.

IMB-780.

It's from their Industrial Section, also where a Mini ITX has been buffed up to use with a DAW as the stoarage options are insane.
These guys in the last year have really impressed me with their M.2 connectors (best available @ Gen 3.0 x PCI-e 4x) and just insanely fast designs, which just happen to benefit sample streaming far better than any other boards out there.
