I’m too far in to turn back now. I just need more IO. My x8 is already maxed out. Another 6 SHARCs to add to my 22 definitely wont slow things down, but then again Spark came out today for Windows too. I’ve been testing them for a bit already and mixing hybrid really has an upside.I have to say I'm not a fan of UAD, you pay a LOT for the onboard DSP and I'm not sure there interface part is up there with other high-end devices. Now SSL though, that's stellar stuff. :)
