Does anybody have this PCI card installed on their mac? If so, is it worth the $1200 price tag? What are the advantages of the card?

Seabass069: I had the Powercore #1. It was a peice of crap. It slowed down my G5 2x2 (Logic-2.5 gig RAM, MOTU HD 192, etc) and I got nothing but crackles and pops. I tried sorting it out with TC online but these guys are pricks - one in particular. It seems they have a company policy never to admit to a problem until they have a fix.
After months of hagggling, noise and slow computing, Sweetwater, from whom I purchassed it, offered a complete refund. Note that Sweetwater did but TC didn't. The effects aren't that great. I found myself using Space Designer more than either of the TC reverbs and after the M5000, the reverbs were why I bought the PowerCore. Now that it's out of my system, my computer is that much faster - more tracks, more effects - I can run 4 or 5 Space Designers and 30 or 40 tracks. Maybe more - I haven't reached a limit. I'm not sure if they fixed the proglem with PowerCore 2 but I find it interesting that Sweetwater offered a complete refund, not a replacement with a P/C 2. My advise? Don't even walk past the TC office. You're likely to catch something. |
