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

Dear MrD.
many thanks for the recommendation. Do you have any opinion on the UAD-1 (from Mackie, I think) and/or the Creamware XTC? I believe these cards all do pretty much the same thing but the UAD-1 is "better" for mastering effects - like EQ, limiting etc whereas the TC Powercore is "better" for delays and effects in general. I have no idea about the XTC. thanks karambos -------------------- Waiting on my new MacBook Pro
