[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 99631, member: 67"] Re: Digidesign SC48 There is room for 3 DSP cards in the Mixrack, only 2 in the SC48. Rev One seems the most resource intensive of the stock Avid stuff. Reverbs eat lots of DSP, but by far the biggest resource hog amongst plugins is PITCH shift/harmonics. Some compressor plugins don't "reinstantiate" in a thrifty manner; at least one 1176LN (Purple or Bomb Factory, don't recall which) uses something like 50% for each instance of plug. The SMACK! comp uses only 17% for each reinstantiation. I get a lot of BE show files that have a dozen or more SMACK! but only a couple of 1176. Arik, I suggest you send an email to Sheldon @ Avid with a list of the proposed plugins and console configuration and ask how much DSP will be needed and how much will be available for expansion. I like mixing on our SC48 and sometimes it's the right tool even though a Profile has more input faders. [/QUOTE]
