Greetings DAW heads,

This is my first post here...so I hope I’m in the right place for this!

I’m a 001/Mac user who’s becoming interested in alternative DAW’s, mainly for higher audio track count, and hopefully dual processor support.

Having checked out a few editors this weekend at the NAMM show, I was most blown away by Nuendo.

It seems that it is pretty much carved in silicon that the VIA Chipsets suck. There were problems with the older chipsets, and now even the latest KT266A chipsets have been reproted to have PCI bandwidth issues. Opus pointed us to this article http://www.tecchannel.de/hardware/817/7.html addressing the issues with the pci bus.

I currently use a pair of U87s (new style) for Overheads and RODE NT1s (no sniggering please) for the room. I'm looking for a pair of mics to use mainly as room (XY) but to also be an occasional alternative to the 87s for OH (when using the 87s as room mics)

i have a PTIII system(2 dsp farms) and feel fairly abandoned by Digidesign in terms of upgrading options. their 001 system is a dead end and their MIX TDM systems are ridiculously high priced. they won't make anything past v5.01 work for PTIII either. so, which company out there should i be paying attention to in terms of finding a comparable system to PT MIX TDM?
