Doesn't make it work with Mac though - and is an expensive alternative.

(I want a Scope system like this that also includes audio in/out!)

interesting - I have used guitar rig (the demo) with a much appreciating mood to start from, as it's very affordable and comes with that hardware stuff.
I did the same as you - stripped everything down to the basics and what was left was clearly the sound of the Reaktor engine, artificial (in the ...

the native emulations without delay and reverb mostly sound like kiddy toy sound...

Not true at all.

I own GuitarRig and tried the Dynatube demo right along side it. The first thing I did was strip all the effects off GuitarRig so that I could get to the true amp emulation.

Side by side, I ...

Double post by accident

i wouldn't spend anything for just a vista driver update. but yes, i would spend for a new hardware and yes, for new plugs, scope 5.0 whatever with new and improved functionality...

btw., just got my 2 brand new bass amps :-) and they fit in my studio without a problem :-D

Agree that an update ...

I am having issues with the Sequencer Midi Dest and Sequencer Midi Source modules when using a lot of MIDI data.

I can play any of the Scope synths using my Nord Modular G2 without issue when playing from direct MIDI input, but when playing through the Sequencer Midi Dest and Sequencer Midi Source ...

scope 5.0 will be delivered with the new pci-e card only... and of course with the 300mhz sharcs.

That may be the case - but if Creamware goes this route, I really think they would be passing up a lot of potential profit by not taking advantage of the current user base.

While I am sure that ...

IMO - One of the smartest things Creamware could do is get the drivers and interface up to date with Vista and OSX (Universal) - then release an external hardware box that will allow you to fit your Scope PCI cards and convert to a number of formats (PCI Express, ExpressCard, etc.) - whichever you ...

Here's an interesting quote from Steve Ball(the GPM for the MediaTech group at Microsoft - of which Windows Audio is a part)- posted over at http://channel9.msdn.com/:

Just catching up to these threads and questions... It's been a busy time in Building 50 lately. So... "why is there an OSX box ...

My understanding is that one of the specific items of focus when creating Vista was improving Windows audio (with pro-audio demands in mind).

It is suppose to improve both audio quality (everything processed in 32-bit floating point) and performance (better latency and stability).

I also heard ...

How would you say the amp models compare to Guitar Rig (which is currently my choice)?

Is there a demo version available? I would want to try it before I buy.

A native alternative that is really, really good and has won awards is String Studio by Applied Acoustics. It uses physical modeling to emulate string instruments, including electric guitar.

Good points.

But how about from a more pratical sense - I think I saw it mentioned that the 32-bit driver is actually easier on your CPU - is this really true in your experience??? Just curious because I haven't noticed.

I am a little confused - any opinion on what is best to use with Ableton Live?

wish there was one for the samplers!

Just curious about your experience using SCOPE with this program and your thoughts about the quality of Live compared to other programs available.

Tassman wins over Reaktor hands down in my book. I guess everyone has different ears.

I will admit that Reaktor has some great instant gratification type sounds - but on the whole it just doesn't stack up to me. (Although, Reaktor is a great sample mangler, if that's what you are looking for.)

It ...

Did you send an email to Ralf? He will take care of it for sure.
