Okay, everyone's comments are actually understood now. Now just a couple of experiential questions for y'all.

Will they drop PT HD1, HD2 OF prices?

"The ACCEL card appears to be a super dsp card replacement for the HD Process card. The new card is twice as powerful - but has a list price only $500 higher. HD2 and HD3 ACCEL systems will include the new card instead of the Process cards previously shipped with these systems. The other news is that ACCEL is shipping immediately."

Okay, I've thought about it a long time and I may actually dump the idea of a Roland VS 2480 or Akai DPS24 and actually jump to Pro Tools. I'm really surprised at this move, but there's too much noise being made and why fight it?

Anyone in the forums running Pro Tools on a G5 yet? I'm curious to know if there are any issues with Mix/Core/001 cards and the new PCI-X slots. Has anyone talked to Digi about it to find out? Chime in if you have any info.

Nate? Know anything yet? Alecio? Uncle Bob? Pandamonkey? Thanks fellas!

Have a great day!

hello fellow musicians, this is my first post great site! anyways i currently mixing for my band in our studio in Camas, WA i have a Sony 2.0 and Pro Tools digi001.

Hey Kids!This was going to be a poll but thy're no fun so we'll do it this way.I've been on the edge of acquiring a computer set-up for some time now.I cant quite bring myself to do it.I basically hate computers so its been a stumbling block for me.

Hello all. I'm about to drop a few thousand on the Roland 2480. Having just finished a great sounding full song on the VS880EX (done with about 20 tracks in all, using virtuals, bouncing etc), I think this will be fine for producing a pro quality recording - PROVIDING: I have the proper knowledge and know how to record; the proper mics; the know how to use effects properly, etc., etc.

Hi - a colleague has some bits to do in LA and needs a really basic 8 track 16 bit rig for playback. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy from either new or 2nd hand - don’t fancy ebay much for this one!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I just got Fruityloops and didn't even think about it's compatability with Pro Tools...are they compatible, and if so how would I go about using them together...(by the way, I haven't fully read the Fruityloops manual...is this covered in there)?
Thanks :tu:

I’m working at a studio with a Studer tape machine and a Trident series 80 board. I am about to start mixing and there is no automation. I have a Pro Tools HD3 system, that although its sounds great, in an A, B comparison to the tape, if the tape is a 10, the pro tools is a 9.25.
