Hard Disk Recording & Editing
Steinberg Nuendo - supports 200 audio tracks, comprehensive automation etc. 30 removable drives, ultra reliable Plextor burners and a dual system allows for a fast turn around and great flexibility in editing and mixing.
Universal Audio UAD DSP cards give for example more than 24 1176 realtime compressors, good reverbs and great EQ etc without CPU load using dedicated 3GHz subprocessors .
The quality of these cards may be measured by the fact that they are the only cards licensed by NEVE to run NEVE plug-ins.
