Steinberg Houston interfaced via midi. Works great for Cubase. won't work
with any other app. I've also got a Frontier Alphatrack interfacing with my
slave computer. It's very cool as well.

DJ, I don't not being hard to get some Phatt ou of the Steingbergs (C4 & Nuendo).
It's way harder than say Paris & ProTools. Those 2 babies mix themselves.
Most of 06 and 07 I tracked and mixed in Nuendo or Pro Tools, summing out
to a Analog mixer (SoundCraft Ghost). While this a nice setup, Paris spoiled
me into having a dedicated DAW controller. So, for 08 my partner and I will
be looking into
-Tascam DM4800
-Digidesign C24(new)
-New Euphonix (new for 08).
I will be getting back to Paris in 08..I miss the sound. And, I will polish
up and really master Slow-Tools.

Hey LaMont,
Is there any real info about this stealth Euphonix product? Are you talking
about something they've officially announced or something they are going
to announce. There was the massive buzz and then . . . nothing. If it were
a 'C24 for native apps' I'd be all over it like stink on fish.
Just wondering if there's more info out there,
