My newest SFP DAW ( 45 DSP's ) has added Cubase 4, and Gigastudio in it's VST version called GVI. It appears GaryB has built another stable awesome box. I am only using the E6400, as I have held the E6700 in reserve if needed. GVI really loads large Gigastudio sample libraries fast, and can hold about 60 Gigs worth of DVD's in one performance !! I now can play those awesome VSL libraries and have all of my horn sections as well, w/o having to load again.
The DAS mixer sends everything to FOH engineer, and custom monitor mixes to the Pro 10 3 ways x 5. And I still can load GVI libraries, ProWave w/ 8 voice polyphony, B2003, and Six String w/ 8 voice polyphony. This now supplements my synth DAW as it has Solaris w/ 8 voice polyphony, Pro One which layers w/ the mono analog beast SE-1x, and room for Flexor II ( when it arrives ) , plus all of my custom Giga samples and electro mechanical emulations i.e., Rhodes, D6, Wurlitzer.
DAS mixer is light w/ DSP's considering it's possibilities, and having all of those post and pre inserts for other killer plugs is a God send.
Anyone w/ hardware troubles should call GaryB. His thorough attention to details has made me some serious cash w/ these uncrashable DAW's.
My Dogs Now Hunt In Packs,
P.S. GiaViolin also a VSTi is awesome. It can do Charlie Daniels, to Jean Luc Ponti. The libraries available from Tascam and other 3rd party guys are unbelievably realistic.
