DSP's, are they worth it?

OK, since you asked so politely

You're right. A DSP is a computer, or a microprocessor to be more accurate.

(And anything that you put in your signal path in the digital domain is also a DSP, technically speaking )

But here these guys are referring to hardware-powered plugins like the UAD stuff.... which live in your PCI slot, yes.

YES! thANKS you, i understand now they are hardware Dsp's that live in your computer like how maybe over in india some bedbugs might live inside the pci-slot waiting to come out at night, they are real not virtual plugins, perfect analogy!

The LM is 215mm wide by 150mm deep, so around 8 1/2" x 6".

Best thing to do with Reaper is just download & start using it. It's unrestricted so you'll find out pretty quick if it doesn't work for you.

If you don't like it, my next recommendation would be Sonar. There are some issues with dsp gear but the Cakewalk guys are pretty good

I downloaded the demo of Reaper over the weekend and it looks like it does everything I need it to do so far, so I might make the switch. I bought a PSU for may DAW comp so I'll have that up and running and be able to try it out.

Also, do you know how tall the LM controller is?
