I presently run all my audio and effects natively on my G3 processor. It's only a small one (233MHz) and gets overloaded quickly with about 6 or 8 audio tracks with effects. I need some advice on what non-native solutions are available out there. As far as I'm aware there are DSP's (Digital Signal Processors) that take care of the effects (like the Powercore) and others that do both audio and effects (like DigiDesign's MixPlus). Is that right? Potential candidates so far are: TC Powercore, Digi Design 001, Yamaha DSP 2416, something by Terratec, MOTU Audio 2408, DigiDesign MixPlus, Creamware Pulsar, Creamware Scope.
Ideally I'm willing to spend more money on something that fully removes the load from my processor so that no matter what computer I buy (Macintosh) it will not overload. Basically I need at least 30 Audio tracks. thankyou karambos  ---------- www.thefair.de -------------------- Waiting on my new MacBook Pro

many thanks for your informative reply, Teiwaz. To answer your question about what I/O I use at the mo - I have an Audiowerk 2 card from Emagic.
Which actually brings me to another question: if I were to buy the UAD-1 would it act as my I/O? I mean, could I then sell the Audiowerk 2? In other words (and please, excuse my ignorance on this topic) is the UAD-1 a 'soundcard' as well as being a superb effects processor? I've heard a lot of talk about "hard-drive recording" systems (like the yamaha 2416). What is a hard drive recording system? I mean, I record to my hard drive now (BTW I have a Barracuda IV, 60 gig, 7200rpm). Is the UAD-1 a hard drive recording system? thanks karambos -------------------- Waiting on my new MacBook Pro
