Eventide Opinions: Eclipse vs DSP Series v. H3000

Hello,

Considering purchasing an Eventide effects unit.
Especially considering use for vocals--vocal quality, flexibility--but will use for other instruments as well. Looking for quality sounds, flexibility. And value, of course, always matters somewhat.

Opinions on :

-Eclipse vs.
-DSP 4500/7000/7500 vs.
-H3000?

Thank you.

Yamaha DSP Factory & Tascam PCI-822

I have both cards installed under Windows XP in a 1.2Ghz 256MB P3 system. Using Sonar 2.0 I can record 8 simultaneous tracks on the PCI-822. I can also record 4 simultaneous tracks on the DSP Factory. But if I try to enable recording on a single channel from the "other" card the recording fails with dropout errors.

Pro Tools DSP chip 100% "allocated"

I've just spotted this after maxing out my Mix+ system with a pretty complex session. In the system usage screen, it looked like one of the DSP chips was free even though I was getting out of DSP errors. However, a mouse click on the chip resulted in it turning red and the message 100% appearing. Allocated to what? I'd normally expect to see something a bit more descriptive.
