I thought some of you might be interested in this info. I spent some more
time with a buddy of mine who has been running Reaper. I was very impressed
with Reaper's feature set and wickedly impressed with the track counts his
computer was delivering. For me, it seems an ITB solution has arrived.
He's running the following configuration (with a tricked out MSI vid card)
Intel E4500 Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz 800fsb, DDR2 2 gig Biostar p4M890-M7 TE mATX
motherboard, VIA P4M890 Chipset. The mobo has 2 pci slots and 2 pcie slots.
Here's the counts:
12 audio tracks, 30 tracks with vsti's (the majority of these were running
Garritan's Personal Orchestra -Kompakt LE -most instances had three to four
instruments, though we also had a smattering of tarus pedal emulations and
stienberg's vb1 thingy) and the following fx: 4 band eq's on all tracks, 14
compressors, 13 delays, 13 choruses, and three convolution verbs on sends.
For me, this is a fairly typical track count on a song. The CPU was running
at around 55%. Nice.
So we doubled the audio tracks, and kept, on each of these new tracks an eq,
delay, chorus and compressor. And, we added three more sends, each with a
convolution verb (that's SIX con-verbs ((vs lawabiding-nouns)) ). We had a
total of onehundredandfourteen fx running. The CPU was running around 75%.
That's 24 audio tracks and 30 vsti tracks and plenty of fx to go around.
For me, this would be a unusually large project. With all these tracks, his
screen redraws were slightly sluggish, but not enough to slow the work flow.
This strikes me as pretty freakin' amazing. For a project studio guy with
delusions of sub par grandure, my finger's on the trigger and gettin' pretty
itchy.
