How ironic. Im on a Mac Pro looking forward to jumping to a PC. And my Mac will be relegated to email 😀 I look forward to more power using CS? and more options in my computer build. I dont trust Apple anymore. They are headed down a different road than I am on.

Eric Bowen at ADK is a fount of knowledge. I will most likely get my machine from him. His ability to listen to your workflow and design a system to your needs is awesome.

It depends how much “heavy lifting” you are doing with your system. If you need to deal with formats like Red , Epic or high resolution 4444 files as well as the basic stuff (P2, AVCHD, XDCam, H.264, Prores, DNxHD, etc) My research with leading computer makers suggest the new xeons are the way to go. This is even more reinforced if you are doing long form and / or lots of motion graphics in the larger formats. Thats the direction I would like to go when I move on from my Mac Pro.

You are welcome David. Im hoping that as I leave the Apple realm for a more powerful PC Im hopeful to find Mackie drivers that will support it.

I tried my 1082 with Audition. The Mackie and the other driver doesnt talk to it. And since it was discontinued, Tascam has no drivers for it. We are screwed.

Im so glad you are up and running. You wont regret having a fast raid. It will enhance your capabilities from this time forward.

At one point in our trouble shooting I thought that the excessive file size might be an issue, but I discounted that notion since I never have heard of that being an issue.

Again, congrats for hanging in there and solving a very challenging issue. Your system now will handle just about anything you can throw at it. 😀
