Hi all,
It's that time when I need to upgrade, and this time it's a no holds barred upgrade - i7 990X 6 core CPU, 12Gb RAM, SSD OS drive, RME Fireface 400...you get my drift. I'm also mulling over a UAD-2 QUAD DSP Accelerator card, and this is where I'm compiling all sorts of opinions.
My mind says that it would leave my CPU with a lot of processing power for other VSTi's, a mate of mine who happens to be a legendary House producer says that whilst he has one, his Waves plugins do the job nicely on his tricked up Mac Pro and he barely uses it nowadays, and another bloke says that they're a finely conceived marketing ploy after discovering how little processing his Powercore plugins used after they went native.
A penny for your thoughts...
