I never really used a single Scope card except back in 2005 when I bought my first 6 DSP card.

I couldn't load many voices of Solaris so I starting upgrading, and of course never stopped.

But I have been rehersing lately and using a single 15 DSP Type II card w/ a Mixer and effects only, and one instance of VDAT that acts as a sequencer. It holds the relevant pre recorded drum tracks mastered w/ FX, and sends a seperate click out for areas wherever there is a little silence, for intros, and ritardandos, etc.

Using wireless 3 way Ear Monitors, a Bass Amp Modeller, a Guitar Amp Modeller, DAS Mixer, STM1632, and 32 Channels of ASIO via Bidule as a host w/ 3 x VSTi's and 2 x GVI's, 2 x AUX's w/ DSP Reverbs, and 6 x Modulation FX, I finally maxxed out the DSP Meter.

The 2 Channel FMR Mic Pre brings in the Bass and Guitar, and the 3 of us can jam w/o anyone hearing us. This is one hell of a little live set up already. XITE-1 will definately be needed, but I encourage anyone who wants to play live to use their cards and a Behringer controller and save having to have big consoles, Power Amps, hardware FX, etc.

2 x 15 DSP cards could do a fine job, leaving a great upgrade path for the Xite-1 rack. I must have it because of the custom mixers I will be using, and all of the synths and Modular patches necessary to pull off a larger set up.

The old saying that less is more is definately true in this case. I never really knew how powerful these cards could be for a small 4 piece group using limited synths.

The has to be the best written application I ever saw, considering it's a decade old !! Scope 5.0 is just a re-birth and a new beginning for these cards. They aren't going anywhere soon, except in another DAW somewhere.

The idea of having a hardware console for recording is still debatable, but having to have a PA system to perform live w/ racks of effects and hardware is definately unnecessary when these cards could be used.

Yes less boards is more DSP power with Xite.
But more waiting is less fun.

more waiting is less fun
more waiting is less bugs
less bugs is more fun
less fun is more fun.
