[Randall]

I have no idea about pricing..but historicaly, these guys have been very fair and competitve...this is truly a "take it to the next level" kind of deal.

[wayne kerr]

But will it RECORD RAP????

[Randall]

It will record the funkiest, nastiest, hip hop and Rap the world has ever heard brother, there is full support for the Giga Sampler and VST, that would include VSTI's and you wont even need a second computer to reliably run Giga sampler on it..HA HA HA..the future is here!!!!!!!

[kcrusher]

Yeah, but you still have to deal with Windoze...

[Randall]

Must be another one of those caught underneath the Big Thumb of Digidesign and Apple.. !!! How do you like your summing in PT? Thin and Crispy?

While I think Randall is being a little bit on the, ummm, overzealous side here - I have to agree with him on the outstanding quality of the Soundscape/Sydec products. I've been using the Mixtreme cards for years in conjunction with the PC native SAWStudio software and the results are excellent. Incredibly low latency MME, WDM, ASIO2, GSIF driver support for all flavors of Windows, on board DSP allows for an incredible real time virtual mixer that can send any of your app's inputs and outputs to any other app, zero latency input monitoring built in, and proprietary high quality plugins. Recently I think RME Audio's offerings have eclipsed Soundscape's as best choices for PC Native DAW's as the Mixtreme had to have receive an external superclock to record at 96kHz - but with these new products that update everything into 21st Century with built in 192kHz support, a huge amount of DSP, MADI support, integration of VST plugins, and other cool options, I think they really are giving RME (and pretty much everyone else) a run for their money.

also - the ADDA2408-R is a rebranded DAD 2408 - one of the best sounding 8 channel micpre/AD/DA combo boxes I've heard. Right now the DAD2408 is around $5500 in the US - I have a feeling the Sydec rebranded box will be less.

btw - I use both Mac & Windows DAW's - and I have had much better stability on my Windows2k/SAWStudio box than I have experienced with any Apple rig. Other's mileage might vary.

Best regards,
Steve Berson

Maybe a little overzelous, LOL, I am tickled to see this company come back in the game so strong after the Mackie fiasco, The Mixtreme card was the best audio card I've ever used and if it wasn't for the fact I needed 96K, I would still use one. The configurable mixer is more powerful than any software or hardware mixer I've used and the drivers were great. Needless to say I'm extremeley interested in Soundscape's new products. Oh and BTW, their support was always better than any I've experienced, just mostly depends at what level of quality you wish to produce really, want top notch, first rate sound quality and the most flexible, powerfull, soundcard around that probably won't be equaled, rivaled or surpassed for quite some time, possibly years?..here she is!!

You'll have to ask the guys using PTLE for an answer to that question, I wouldn't touch it

What does the instability/insecurity of Windows have to do with ProTools? I don't use either.

[Randall]

it's not Windows that is unstable, it's the crap people load onto it. piss poor drivers for underdeveloped hardware and poorly designed software is the issue way more so than Windows itself. people load a bazillion BS programs and run outdated drivers and wonder why they have issues

That is sorta like saying if people didn't use their machines for anything useful, they wouldn't ever have issues. That is kinda the point, and the reality. But i hope this new hardware + software is very stable and it lives up to all you hope it will be. As long as some music is being recorded, it will be a good thing.

"Meaning, he thinks it'll never actually ship as a product. I'd personally to see zero latency in the digital world. That's my biggest beef with digital. Latency sux. "

I dont have any latency issues with my protools HD3 rig, and it runs day in and day out with no problems.

I would love to read more about this soundscape program. Sounds neat!

I dont like PC's, but that is just personal preference. Whatever.

Anyone hear anything more about this?

For what do you need 96k?
