On the subject of Multitrack Hard Disk based digital audio systems, be sure
to check out Spectral Synthesis new 'Digital Studio'. This system can
support up to 16 simultaneous tracks. It does this using multiple hard disks
and multiple SCSI busses. The user interface is excellent, a graphical
display
of a multitrack tape with 'sound objects' that you place one the track you want
at the time you want. Since this system is DSP processor based and is
expandable
up to 14 DSP processors with the interprocessor communication problem solved,
there is a lot of room to grow.
The price is reasonable, roughly $3000 plus a scsi hard disk, for a
board set you drop into your PC AT. I saw them at the January NAMM in LA.
