A thought struck me the other day. (i had to treat it kindley as it was in a strange place).

So I have read some articles online, and one small thread on this forum on this topic.

I will be completing a project that is for vinyl and digital release.

Hello,
I've been using with very great satisfaction Syntrillium CoolEdit 2000 for a long time, but now that for other reasons I changed my hardware platform and adopted Windows-7 x64, this software is not compatible any more.
Though I could run it with the "XP-Mode" virtualization, I'd prefer to direct myself to a newer software.

If I would like to perform my *mixes* inside a DAW, say I need some 32-40 inputs to mixdown, would this be possible on a pc dedicated to this task only, or am I simply asking too much given the current state of technology ?
