Nice Job DJ!! ..But, remember PTHD run circles (Sorry James) arounf PTHD on
a comprible mac. Letting you run your UAD (via fx wrap) if you want to.
So, you would not have to purchase a new PC. he PC(s) you are are more than
enough..

DJ - I won't guarantee great success with it. There were few options with 3
PCI slots, and in hindsight (not being able to use but 2), I might have
looked at something else. Imho, if you aren't all PCIe at this point, it's
a bit of a crap shoot trying to get a great board. The Asus boards do seem
to get mixed reviews, but most PCI boards I looked at did as well.
The P5W is running well for guys with firewire audio (FF800) and 2 UAD-1s.
I get some glitches with graphic movement at certain latencies (e.g.
dragging the timeline in the Nuendo arrange window during playback), but
it's inconsistent and hasn't been a showstopper (I have a PCIe XFX GeForce
dual head DVI). I wouldn't call it a great board, but I think this is a bit
of a transition period with boards.
I also haven't upgraded BIOS, but it's a later rev anyway.
Regards,
Dedric

The Magma chassis' I'm using are both capable of using the newer Magma PCIe
host card. These cost $300.00, but I've got a pretty good rapport with the
folks at Magma. I'm sure they would refund me the price of the card if I
bought one and it didn't work. I'm thinking that I might buy one of the PCIe
host cards and try one of the latest/greatest mobos. Most of them have at
least one legacy PCI slot for the other Magma.

It True Gannt.. Back in 2001, when Microsoft bail Avid out debt, MS gave Avid
some of their in-house talent for the sole purpose of making Pro Tools world-class
on a PC.
Also, when Apple introduced Final Cut Pro,and started taking marketing share
from Advid and the looming rumor of Apple partnering or purchaing on the
DAW makers app, Avid/Digi told all of their 'Mac-only' plugin partners that
they had to get their plugins over on the PC platform...Why??
I heard that after the Final cut pro success and then Emagic purchase, that
Avid/Digi were worried that Apple would either cripple or stop supporting
any other MAc DAW on their new Machines.
So, back to MS..Microsoft poured a lot of money into digi. WHat came out
it was : 1) Stable WDM drivers, RTAS.. 2)Avid pro whatever for PC..
It's said that MS owns up to 49 percent of Avid. MS wanted to be in the Pro
Audio/Media Business without appearing to be in the lead position , due to
all of the anti-trust lawsuits being waged against them. But,make no mistakes..$Microsoft's
money is what fueled Pro Tools market position. And, if you notice Avid today,
they are using MS's business model..Which is to agresivly aquire competiotrs
that offer technologies that they did not:
-M-Audio-World class PC Pro-audio driver makers.
-Wizoo-World Class VSti/plugin makers
-Abelton- World clas eleastic audio engine.
Gannt all anyone has to do to see the performance difference btw a Mac and
PC running Pro Tools is to Purchase a copy of M-powered pro tools, compare
it to M-Powered or LE on a mac.
Next, see who many plugins can you open up..Big difference. But.Mac only
folks when they witness this, are shocked beyond belife.. Because they have
been told that teh Mac is soo superior to a PC.
So, yes, Pro Tools HD on a killer PC is way faster than any Mac. Due to the
Code beign more PC friendlier than OS-X.
It's just that more long time Pro Tools users were mac users. Pro Tools saw
the exact same CPU horsepower difference btw Mac & PC as we all witnessed
the last 8 years.
It's not talked about because, MAc folks are just that Mac folks.

My Latest PC was built using this Mobo It's a 939. I'm running a dual-core
opteron . I purchased it new off ebay for $120. I won;t buy any more boards
form Newg-egg. Too many problems. But, this is a great board ..#PCI slots,
PCie(s)..Sata ..Stable, but very fast..

I'm also using a 939 mobo (Gigabyte GA K8NS Ultra 939) running an Opteron
185. It's a little screamer. Extremely simpatico with UAD-1 cards
too....probably the best 939 mobo for UAD-1 cards. It uses the NForce3
chipset and, of course, like everything else I have here, is discontinued
;).
I am actually running two identical machines and linking them via Steiny
systemlink. I did some more critical listening last night and decided that I
will stay with ASIO direct monitoring after all. Even 1.5 ms latency (along
with the appx 1.5 ms inherent in AD/DA conversion) is audible enough to my
ears to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'm going to wait until things sort
themselves out to the point where I can run flat out at 32 sample buffer
settings (which are actually using 64 samples with the RME cards). That will
get me below 3ms "true" latency and that's something I can live with.
Unfortunately, my Opteron 185 will choke at 32 sample buffers when
track/plugin counts start climbing.
Using ASIO direct monitoring isn't a problem the way I've got things routed
right now. I'm splitting off the headphone output of the MADI card to a
Mackie 1402 and distributing this to the stereo main input of my Furman HDS
16 unit using the ALT 3/4 settings of the mackie. this way everyone who is
tracking on the 4 x remote mixers can have a feed of the main mix plus a 1:1
of all tracks being recorded. the 1402 is sending the main outs to a pair of
CR monitors and the CR headphones. It's pretty bulletproof while tracking
now. No latency at all to mess with. All I do is drop the recorded tracks to
to folder tracks which allows me to quickly switch them off the
monitor/record settings and I'm good. It's like being able to use the Cubase
CR function with ASIO Direct monitoring enabled. The only limitation is not
being able to monitor plugins on tracks being recorded, but that's not an
issue really. I use hardware reverbs on the send/returns of each Furman HRM
16 remote mixer so each performer gets to dial in his/her own mis anyway.
Sweet!

Sweet.. Like I said before, adding a mixer in Mative mix, solves alot of

And I'm such a naive little Mac Dude that I've been laboring under the delusion
that PT was more stable and powerful on a Mac.
So, is the future of Pro Audio going to be on a PC?

No..Of course not..I was just explaining that Pro Tools HD,LE,M-Powered run
flawlessy on a PC as well as a Mac. But, up until the current crop of mac
(Intels), the PC ran circles around the Mac running Pro Tools (Any version)..Now,
it's a wash.
As for Mac version being more stable. Nope. The Mac verison will crash on
Pro Tools just as often as the PC version. My personal experiences have been
that Pro Tools on OS9 was very stable..Not so with OSX. Iwould say that PT
on Win XP is more stable than OS-X and more robust.

It'd be interesting for someone with PTHD and a new Intel Mac to do some benchmark
testing between running OS X and Windows...

Possibly because in the past this was a newsgroup full of Paris fanatics who
were fiercly denying any notion of Paris being obsolete and were still sharing
experience, strength and hope for the future of their favorite DAW. Now
it's a newsgroup full of former, soon-to-be-former and eventually-to-be-former
Paris fanatics who hang together because they just like each others' company.
I suspect that info regarding possible future paths for all of us still
using Paris as our main DAW would be seen in a somewhat different light at
this point in time.

Hi DJ,
If you are thinking about a single socket 775 board then this one is
excellent. It uses the P35 chipset so is compatibel with the 1333mhz fsb
chips. It has 3 PCI and 3 PCI-e available. 6 SATA ports, 12 USB, 1 FW, 1
NIC. Very solid board. I've tested thses combinations and it wirked fine. WE
only use NVidia vidoe cards so haven't tried ATI or Matrox. Not sure why
someone would want to use either of them anyways. :)
3xUAD PCI 1x UAD PCI-e 1x FF800
2x MADI PCI, 2x UAD pci-e 1x UAD PCI
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DP35DP/index.htm
The board has no PS2, Paralell or serial ports and has to have a Sata OS
drive.

Thanks Chris,
I was sorta' thinking about throwing together a Quad core Intel machine as a
stopgap until the scaling issues with dual quads get sorted out with
Cubendo. I've got a couple of 36G Raptors sitting here gathering dust. If
you were running 2 x MADI PCI and a UAD-1 PCI then it's likely that these
two PCI slots aren't sharing an IRQ and I would be able to use both my
Magma's and their PCI cards. another option would be to get a PCIe host card
for one of my Magmas.
I don't see any 1333FSB CPU's out there right now except the Xeons. I don't
really think the increase in price would be worth the difference I would
gain between a 1066 FSB Q6600 and a Q6700 or some whizbang Xeon, but then
again, I'm not at all Intel savvy any more. If I were to do this, it would
have to gain me enough gopower to allow me to operate pretty much 24/7 at
32k buffers with track counts up to 30 and 85% UAD-1 loads. Without that,
I'm good just staying with what I've got here. My current rig is bulletproof
stable running the 2 x Magmas. I just see no point in moving to the dual
socket quad core Barcelona monsterbox until these issues have been sorted
out. I did run across this on EBay the other night. No telling what it will
sell for but someone out there is now offering dual Barcelona quad machines.
I thought that was interesting and perhaps a very risky buy though I also
thought it would be interesting to see what it would do with something like
Reaper which doesn't have the scaling issues that Steinystuff does..

What I would like to be able to do is utilize 4G RAM on my main DAW and keep
the other Opteron DAW as slave for running VSTi's primarily. I can interface
my Houston controller via midi so I'm wondering if I can run Cubase 4 in 32
bit mode on Windows XP 64 or server 2003 and have access to any additional
memory resources.
As usual, your input is much appreciated.
;o)

Hi Chris,
Do you have any experience with the new Intel P35 chipset? I see
there's plenty of these motherboards out now.
