Newest Technology: Constant R&D allows us to consistantly deliver the latest technology first. Some of our competition is a year behind.
Performance: Ever the geeks, we are always raising the performance bar with highest quality components, BIOS tweaks and software tweaks.
Compatibility: Tested with all major audio interfaces and software.
Quiet: Speed is great, but it should not come at the cost of sounding like a jet engine. We are constantly developing new solutions and won't bore you with pretty graphs of the competition. The fact is unless you buy an "Iso Rack" it doesn't get any quieter. Nor do you need an Iso Rack.
Turnkey: We install/optimize your audio hardware and software for free* (even if you didn't buy it from us), and then include a disk image of it as configured so you can restore your system in 10 minutes.
Support: Lifetime support for both hardware and software, by people who use the software.
Warranty: Again we give you choices. Up to 2 years inclusive with Express pick up. This includes your Audio hardware (if you bought it from us), and shipping damage protection. We will not tell you "we are NOT responsible for shipping damage" as some of our competition will.
The Standard: Often copied but never duplicated. Too many times what we implement is then seen duplicated on our competitors websites a few weeks or months later (this is also why we hide a few things now).
Personal: For us it's a labor of love. We take what we do and our customers very personally. You are not a sales number to us, but rather a client who we develop relationships and oft times friendships with over the years. Read about the love that goes into your system here
*Up to 3 items. EG: interface, main sequencer, 1 sample/effects. Large sample libraries may have additional charges. We will install past 3 for additional charge.
Each Pro Audio Studio has different needs from small home studio, large commercial studio, to Post to film heavy sample users, as well as "Live" Audio recording up to 192 I/O. Each need requires sometimes a vasty different setup and budget.
With that in mind we found it impossible to individually list all possible custom built DAW configurations for each need and therefore have the system configurators so that we may design a system based on your needs.
Most Studios will find their needs met with some form of our Quad Pro, for maximum samples with low latency the Quad Xtreme is tough to beat.
For High End Studios who has large track counts, High resolution (96 or 192K) and massive effects yet still wants lower latency for punch-in you may want to consider the Dual Quad Xeon (8 core/16 thread). **
For Live recording of up to 192 I/O or Pro Tools HD 2/3/4 Please contact us as each need differs.
For small home studio's or as an extra VSTi/Giga box the AM3 or Qube packs a punch without knocking out your wallet.
For heavy Sample users we recommend the Core Xtreme.
Operating systems: a few comments concerning this.
Windows 64: unsupported by many manufacturers, its life was brief. We do not recommend it as win 7 is a better product.
Windows Vista 64 has greatly improved with SP2. However Win7 is better.
Windows 7 64 is now our recommended OS as long as your hardware has drivers.
For 100% compatibility with 32bit plugs we recommend a 64 bit OS install but your main sequencer in 32bit. (this varies based on Sequencer and plug-ins) 99% of software will work on Win7 64 but may only work in 32bit mode.
While several Sequencers have a built in "Bit Bridge" Programs Like Jbridge and Vienna Ensemble Pro work far better to bring your 32bit plug-ins/VSti's into the 64bit domain.
Pro Tools 8.04 (Le, M-Powered and HD) work great on Win7 64 but must be installed in 32bit mode.
