Only $1,100

The only trick part is that you will need the Fairlight studio console! ($21,995) 😆

and a PC with the IO rates / paths / etc to actually utilize it. ~2.3gb/s sustained for 2000 tracks at 48/24?

[Max Arwood]

Yes in a few years the gamers will have pc’s that should handle that.

I don't think you need video console... The only connectors are for Fairlight Audio Interface and 1x in each direction MADI (4x in each direction with extender).

But I guess no PC will help you to get a single from 2000 Core Audio Tracks, you need a Mac... 😉

+1, I get a chuckle seeing posts with "I have 150 tracks with 200 FX and my computer is choking." Just because a DAW has unlimited track capability doesn't mean a computer can handle anywhere close to that.

So you looked at my last song? Yea I had to freeze about 140 tracks 😉

When I bought a Yamaha SW1000XG card back in 2002, it was more than this (in AU$)

(the price was reduced to $AU377.00 after trading in other items

Nice that they let you do those trade ins. 
Great card!

On that 150’ tracks. We still need to be able to freeze a bus (like stems). I guess I would need to export bus, import bus, archive tracks manually. Lol
