Many things will affect the performance of digital audio software in general, and multi-track production software in particular. The performance of the disk drive being used to store the audio data is only the beginning.

Show day. The grind begins.
This years NAMM show seemed to be about percussion. Lots and lots of percussion. All sorts of drums, cymbals, and other hitty-things filled booths and displays on all floors.

The Waves L1 Ultramaximizer plug-in has earned respect from virtually everyone who has ever used it. It is a very transparent limiter that doesn't overshoot, allowing it to be safely used as proof against digital clipping.

Although the Swissonic name is relatively new (they were formerly known as MusicNet), the AD24 and DA24 are no strangers to the US pro audio market. These highly regarded converters have been available from Sonorus as the AudI/O AD/24 and DA/24.

You've studied hard. You've paid your dues (or so you think). You've twiddled the knobs on an SSL 9000, used Pro Tools to slap together some fake radio spots, and actually participated in the quaint ritual of editing ¼' tape with a razor blade.

PIII or Athlon,
That is the question.
Well Shakespeare, I'm here to tell you that in many cases it just doesn't make a damn bit of difference. I'll pull out some numbers in a moment, but the bottom line is that both the Intel PIII Coppermine and AMD's K7 Athlon make exceptional DAW CPUs.
Lineage
Since the birth of the PC DAW, Intel CPUs have been synonymous with top-performance and stability.

I can't remember the first John Hardy M-1 advertisement that I saw. It seems as if that smallish ‘The John Hardy Company' ad has always graced the back pages of the trade magazines that I read. I remember thinking that this simple little draftsman-like line art drawing could not possibly induce anyone to purchase the product, and the paucity of accompanying information did not help.
Little has changed over the years.

When I think of the M-1, I think of high-quality audio, and a product that eschews the bells and whistles and flashing lights that are so prevalent on products today.
I certainly agree on "quality".

As I mentioned earlier, I used the Vienna SoundFont editor to organize the patches in my master SoundFont file. The first step was to build a series of "audition" files, so I could compare the dozens of similar instruments side by side.
