Hey Dedric,

I acually planned to use the Dreamm(contellation)XTII set up as my primary
mixer/recorder/editor.

I did not plan on using other DAWs as my primary, only for the occassional
use like Pro Tools /Nuendo. But, I was told by fairlight that they will have
a HUI layer very soon, and hey are working with steinberg about the posibilliies
of the use of CC1.

Also, they have the sx-48 i/o unit which goes up to 192 sample rate and provides
48 in 48 outs .And multiple units can be stacked .. The CC1 already has a
plethora of Scope II dsp plugins to offer, plus you can use VST plugins..
That's more than enough..

OK, Lamont... then that means no more accusations from you in
any political threads that I'm "rich" and you're "lower middle-
class", 'cause I sure as hell can't afford to drop $30k into MY
recording rig!

:D

Hey..they'll let anyone get into debt..This is America.. :)

Seriously. James McC was and is right. Most o fthese comapnies are not into
selling nor providing a "total" professional sudio solution. They are into
nickle and diming all of us o spending way over 30-40 oreven 50k when it's
all said and done.

I saw this happening with the PC upgrade phenomina. Look how much it cost
to beuild(last year) a dual/dual core Opteron DAW$$Cha ching..$$$ Then, converters,
plugins, clocks..and on and on..
A person can end up spending a lot of money nickle and diming their way to
their dream setup. It just seemed "more expensive to shell out the big buck
at the fron end, versus, getting "cherry" Picked every 6 months. I know that
I have spent over 6k in DAW upgrades just this year alone!!! ENOUGH!!

Like my wife says, Either your going for the 35k Protool/Control 24 rig(HD3
Acell) or the Euphonics /Neundo Setup or the Fairlight setup.. But, she think
it's stupid(for me) to keep throwing money on faster PCs and not having a
great control surface to boot..

I make no excuse in saying that I need Eye Candy in my studio. I have found
that along with proving a great mix, people pay for Eye Candy..More to the
point, they pay for faders!!! :) Faders and big (19inch and above) video
monitors..
When you're asking for client to part with cash for their project, you have
to provide someting different than what they already have. Most everyone
has some kind of DAW..So, to say I'm using Paris, Pro Tools LE, Cubase or
even Logic and Nuendo, does not easily impress.. BUT, when they see over
32 faders..lights, big monitors and Great sound...Money comes.. :)

Where are you getting a Constellation for $35k? I thought they started at
$110k?

editing/patching section -- for how much$$?
