Those old Mac Pro boxes are still upgradable. There are some great comments why they switched. I read an article somewhere where Apple might ditch Intel and roll with their own processors. Intel went back to being pricey so Apples prices is starting to hurt them. A tricked out Mac Mini with no keyboard or monitor is $4K. I could build 2 Windows rigs for that and use a MOTU AVB or Baby Face for both.
I need to open up Diamond again. It was my first full orchestra for Gigastudio then I got the Kontakt upgrade. Those at VI Control seem to be critical of KH libraries.
I think there is a code out there were this is always the price. If you don't do a lot of advanced orchestra stuff something like this is great for quicker work flow, I will get this someday.
Interesting 1st post. Did anyone think maybe this wasn't a glitch? Izotope made a mistake lat year by offering Ozone 8 elements to Advance for $150. Thy decided to go with it.
I doubt those RME Hammerfalls are selling on the used market. Some are using those adapters to keep them going. If I could do it all over again I would have never bought the Yamaha SW1000XG at the turn of the century when I knew very little about audio hardware went with an RME unit.
