I am looking at uprading my current DAW setup but there are so many factors to consider since the tecnology is changing so fast . I am currently running :
MAC 9500/G3 400
OS 8.6.1
Pro Tools 5.0
Pro Tools III Hardware ( 32 Track )
(5) DSP Farms
(4) 882 I/0
Miro DC30+
This has been a rock solid system but I'm limited to 16 Bit resolution and unable to mix in surround .I was considering upgrading to a MIXPLUS system but the last time I bought this setup I got burned because Digidesign released the d24 card a month later and I really don't want to be limited by the hardware .
I've been considering going with a native system ( Nuendo or DP3 )but I cannot figure out how it will perform on larger projects ( 40 tracks , basic eq's,some busing + video ).
I use Digital Performer 3 as a front end to my Digidesign hardware and it is OK when using Digidesigns hardware , but when I run it under MAS the screen redraws are slow , the counter stops , video is jerky etc .., I know it is my computer but if native systems perform that way it just won't due .My question is , are the native systems up there yet to compete with Pro Tools or other DSP based systems ?
Ive been looking for real world reviews on Native Sytems ( Track counts,screen redraws,video playback , etc.. ) and really can't find any info.
So if there are any Nuendo or DP3 users out there using these systems please let me know on the performance ( Track count , DSP , redraw ,video playback ) as well as your system configuration ( PC or MAC ).
Thanks in advance
