People, People, People!
All,
All this talk about Pro-Tools, Soundscape etc...is making my head spin!
How come no one has mentioned PARIS? Paris sounds better than Ptotools, granted it is not as widely accpected but that is another issue within the company (marketing, outsourcing, etc...). With the arrival of the new PARIS pro, things are really taking off. Check out Brian Tankersley's place.

Paris has all hardware DSP based effects, a REAL control surface to move REAL faders, no more mouse crap.... It has been used to mix "Amazed" for Lonestar, "YES" for Chad Brock, as well as Sawyer Brown's new album...And a christian group called Newsong has had multiple #1's using Tank's place.
ALl this for a fraction of the price that it takes to get The Mix Plus. And, if you want ot mix in the mix plus, just take the PAF files over to a pro tools studio and convert them...easy...piece of cake.
I use PARIS on a PC (PIII 500, 256/40x40) and I LOVE IT! It has NEVER crashed on me....not once...nunca! I would like to see it perform on a G4.
I have had 32 tracks going with
Renaissance EQ's and COmpressors on all the tracks, just for a test....No slowdowns, no latency.
I used to use the Layla/Logic config and once i realized that those were substandard, i dropped a little more $$ ang got PARIS and have not looked back once.
That's my opinion, FWIW.
