Well, I've been on my search for another DSP professional solution. My search
for the ultimate Paris replacement has sent looking at :
1) Soundscape system
2) Pro Tools HD-3 With Dcommand Controller
3) Nuendo3-With Euphonix MC5
4) Fairlight Crysltal Core Setup/ Constellation XT
5) Scope II Platform..
Well, it's looking like the Fairlight solution is winnning and is the future
of DSP DAW.
Take a look at the videos and let me know what you guys think..

Ok.. I just learn that that Fairlight Dream plugin platform uses the Scope
DSP plugins..In addition, being able to ue both native and DSP powered VST
plugins as well..
Folks, this is some really good stuff.
For the longest of times(3 years) I have have been sitting on the fence abnout
jumping in a full-blow Pt-HD rig/ with mixing controller. The studio where
I work has 2 HD setups, but my personal studio uses Paris & Nuendo, along
with PT-M-powered, summed to a soundcraft Ghost (56 channels) analog mixer.
Great sound, but I want a One-Stop-Solution.
I'm thinking that the Fairlight path offers what I've been harping on:
-Slick Digital Mixer (Eqs &Comps/gates/Limiters)
-With built-in high-track count audio Recorder.
-Killer editing
-Intuative layout
-Ability to use 3rd party plugins
-ONE VENDOR!!! (smile)
1(one) Crystal Core technology is equlivalent to 8 HD accel cards!!! What
if you were to use 2??? Yikes!!!!
This i the 'breakthrough ' in breaking the current offerings, even with the
just announced 'quad-core' processors.
I'm jacked.!!!

I'm hearing 18k to start..So, maybe 30-40k might be realistic for the configuration
I'm wanting..

#1 Hey Neil, although I use PT (aka slow tools), I don't want to invest this
kind of Money into digi.
#2 I got quoted(good price) form our Sweetwater rep a PT HD-2 accel, with
Control 24, apogee AD16x/DA16x.Blah Plugs galour..
almost 30k.(27k) to be exact.
3) If I need to do the "yes" I have PT. I do have the 96(48track stero) version..
4) But, I want to go beyond PT-HD and a cool all-in one solution.
#5 My second choice is the Neundo/ Euphopnics route. A grat setup, but you're
at the mercy of your computer..Native.which is not bad, but, I want a DSP
solution..

The big issue I have with PT now (it USED to be that I thought
it sounded like ass, but the new convertors rock, and I think
they've definitely improved the ITB summing - judging from the
few mixes I've heard that I know were done ITB), is that you're
locked-in to Digiblah stuff from front to back... I like those
HD convertors, but I don't like 'em $3,000 better than the
RME's I have right now, for example. If I could get away with
just buying an HD Core card, I'd be there as we speak.
You're still summing in Native, essentially, with an LE system,
though, right? Those aren't DSP summing, are they?

Hi Nappy,
the MC-5 conroller goes for 20k list, but i hear that the street price is
around 13-15k..Then, about 8k per set(bucket) of faders.
BrianT and the his staff at that setup..

No Neil, I'm summing via analog 56 channel soundcraft Ghost..Only ITB summing
I do is with Paris.AND even Paris sounds better summed thru the mixer..

So, DJ... Are you basically doing the same thing you were doing before w/
Paris and Cubase, but w/ the Pulsar stuff? Have you tried the UAD-1 FX in
the Pulsar system yet?

Yes.

the Pulsar system doesn't allow VST Fx or instruments. those have to be used
within a VST host.

DJ,
For Cubase with scope:
Under software I/O window there are asio destinations and sends.
Choose 64 floating asio 2 that can have up to 64 routings.
Now the destination asio sends audio to cubase which shows inside SX by simply
routing.
Why is it so difficult ?
Just think the asio as inputs and outputs of SX !
Let me know where are you stuck...
Regards,
Dimitrios

It's working beautifully Dimitrios. I'm glad I listened to you and bought
this system
If I ever decide to totally abandon Paris, this system should keep me happy
as a native rig, and in the meantime, it's the most stable rig I've used
when interfacing with Paris on a second computer.

That's good news DJ..
For me, I'm going for both eye-candy, & killer tactile interface..With on-aboard
recording. Like you, I've been on this journey for 3 years now searching
for a Killer Paris replacement.
I know this is an investement, but I've made up my mide to drop over 30k
for a rig 2 years ago.
I see now, that even with great multi-core processors, theres nothing like
a dedeicaed DSP based DAW. Sorry Native guys and gals, but it's true.. Yes,
you can ge the job done, but there's always workarounds and the likes..
When I found ou that Fairlight was in fact using Scope based plugins for
their core plugins, that sealed the deal. In fact, the old Fairlight DSP
system (DREAM 1) was based on the scope pro 15 dsp's..
But, now with their new Crystal core technology, they can now sel a rig that's
half the cost and 20 times the power..
To say that I'm jacked is an understatement. Along with the DreamII rig,
I'll have a Dual Opteron PC + Magma for rewired apps(acid), Giga, Neundo..All
jacked into the Dream II Core..

LaMont, that sounds amazing.
Deej, if your system insists on being stable, what're we gonna talk
about around here? ;^) Glad the Pulsar is working out!
In my neck o' the woods, I'm still waiting for the NI Komplete 4 update.
It's coming on the slow boat from Germany - should finally be here this
week. Hopefully it won't do anything to rock the boat, Logic Pro has
been very reliable since the last update.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Lamont,
It is my understanding from Fairlight that the CC-1 is not yet integrated
with any other DAW software or plugins. It is currently only sold with the
SX20 interface and Satellite AV controller with no plans to separate them.
You would have to run their editor to use any of the plugins and stream
other apps into it as audio streams - as you would with rewiring Reason into
Nuendo. While that is great for post houses that only need a few features
from the native DAW, Reason, or other plugins, to me it has yet to
materialize into a fully integrated solution for music production (e.g.
Nuendo or other DAWs and plugins being developed to run all or part of the
audio streaming through the CC-1, at least some key VST plugins ported to
run locally on the CC-1 dsp, *and* the CC-1 being sold standalone).
This is one I've been watching for a while and that's what I've been told by
a Fairlight rep. That may be exactly what you need, but for me it needs buy
from 3rd party companies to be a viable addition to my setup.
Regards,
Dedric
