Message: [QUOTE="Greg Malcangi, post: 8124, member: 50150"] Hi Earthtone, There is an important factor to consider; your use of video. When you playback video from your hard disk the computer's CPU has to spend a considerable amount of it's processing power uncompressing the video. As native systems rely on the CPU for their processing power it's obvious that if you're also running video you are not going to get anywhere near as high a track count or number of plugin instances as you may expect. Using a dedicated processing system like PT TDM, the available processing power should not be affected by running video. The only caveat to this is that running video will of course still impact the available processing power for RTAS (native) plugs. BTW, if you do go down the Mix route make sure to post a message on the ProTools forum in DAWworld. There are a couple of tips worth knowing to make the whole thing run smoothly. Greg [/QUOTE]
