Since continued, but they pop up for sale every now and then.
Once you figure it out, it's basically like a digital tape machine. Sounds pretty good too!

Irony, I just sold mine. It is a spectacular machine as it is.
Why? Because you can't mix it through a console like an HDR, that's the main reason I am looking for just this thing (the virtual HDR).
I too would like a RADAR, but I can't afford one.
I've spent time with about 20-30 different DAWs and it's kind of absurd how they all are trying to be the same thing to everyone. Everything.
I would be happy with individual pieces that did one or two simple things really well, then hook them together.
It does seem rather absurd that something like this doesn't exist, but I'll watch this thread and see what we come up with.
I really like the ADAT plugin as it uses the BRC.
Is it that important to have a physical red button rather than arm with the mouse?
For god's sake yes. Get the pc and keyboard and mouse and monitor (!) out of the control room and put the PC in a closet where it can do math and store data.
