Hi Simeon, I have been doing this step 3 years ago. Actually I did just half step as I only replaced just 1/2 of my rack. I replaced my two edps and my switchblade, that was the heart of my routing/mixing and looping setup. So now I have a pc running the very intuitive and light-on-cpu Audiomulch ( I have been alpha-beta testing the 2.0 version which is amazing, and Mac friendly as well now) to do all my routing/mixing and as a vst host to load Mobius and some other plugins. I am using an Rme FF400 audio card connected via digital and analog to my main precessing boxes ( Eventide H8000, TC fireworx and Boss VF1). I am using FF400 analog outputs to play live and for monitoring and its adat outputs to go digitally into my recording sound card ( with loops on a different stereo channel pair than my main processed channels). Midi control is shared between a Gordius BLG and a Novation control zero. Audiomulch allows me to get crazy midi things ( just think to the metasurface). Now I would like to drop a part of my rack boxes ( at least the Fireworx and the VF1) but I'd need to have these possibly subsituted hw effects through an accelerator vst engine ( like tc powercore or else). Unfortunately there is still no external vst box that allows to load vst plugins bu the native ones ( Tc, Uad etc.). The good ones are big ( receptor) or still to young (Sm pro audio). Probaly the good step for me it would be to replace my 3 years laptop with a new and powerful one, but the setup I have now is running so smooth that I am someway afraid to change it until it would be a must do it. my best, luca Simeon Harris ha scritto: > ok, so my current setup is this... > > triaxis preamp > tc g-force > eventide eclipse > > split into > tc d2 delay > looperlative (with kaoss pad and lexicon mpx-1 in aux sends) > > all running into a rack mixer and into a mesa 20/20 poweramp and > marshall cabs > > i've been contemplating ditching all the rack fx and replacing them > with a mac laptop (keeping the triaxis and 20/20) > > my system at the moment is preset based - i have about 60 sounds > available with cc pedals for variation, with the g-force and eclipse > working in tandem > the lp-1 is controlled by a separate midi controller and i have a > control surface as well (which also controls the d2 and lexicon) > > i'd like ot be able to kinda recreate this lot in a laptop > > so i'm thinking about which plugin host will work best, bearing in > mind that i don't really want to have to launch loads of separate > programs on startup and i need everything to be synced to midi clock > and i also need to be able to control it all via midi > > i'm thinking of using guitar rig for the basic fx, with extra plugins > (including reaktor) for more sonic manipulation....with sooperlooper > and augustus loop running in parallel and feeding more plugins > > ableton live looks like a good bet, but i'd really just be using the > mixer...but it's nice and stable. > > so my questions are - will i be able to set up a bunch of plugins on > one midi channel and put the loopers on other channels, so i can > control everything the way i am now > > any other plugin hosts (for audiounits) that might be worth looking > at? is mainstage worth considering? > > any help would be greatly appreciated! > > sim > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.12.40/2135 - Release Date: >05/26/09 08:53:00 > >
