None so far. I've got about half the resources of the POCO being used along
with about 60% of 4 x UAD-1's in a 20 track mix right now with no glitches
whatsoever. Keep in mind that this is the older Mk1 PCI card and it is
riding an IRQ that is not shared by any other device in the computer. It's
nice having this to supplement/complement the UAD-1 processors. I think the
TC FX are pretty darned good. Very different from the UA, but that's OK.
I've got plenty of UAD-1 processors.
The Megareverb is easily the equivalent to the processors in my TC M2000. I
could probably get by on this and the UAD-1 Plate reverb and sell all my
outboard rack units in a pinch.
I'm getting lazier and lazier as time goes on about using outboard gear in
mixes. Plugins are really getting good these days (or maybe I'm just so used
to hearing them that I've finally accepted their sound).
Hard to say.
Things are pretty sweet with the Multiface and the MADI. This gives me 24
RME AD/DA's, with 24 ADAT inputs for incoming VSTi's and a couple of extra
left over.
I'm finally feeling like I'm getting where I need to be with this system.

they both have something to offer .definitely worth having both. the MD-3
and dynamic eq are top shelf on the TC side,then again all the uad-1 plugs
are 32 bit float.I wouldn't want to choose one or the other.
