Drastik Solutions Press Release 03-01-04
After months of testing Amd based chipset motherboards with the latest sound cards we had a lot of mixed results. We tested motherboards from Asus to Shuttle to come up with a configuration that performed rock solid on many different sound card systems.
We are proud to announce that we have a AMD Digidesign-001 system that has achieved an easy 24tracks and 72 RTAS plug in’s 4 band EQ’s, Compressors, Limiters, Gates, ect.
We tried Durons against Celeron and Thunderbirds against PIII’s using the Digi-001 and will have a full report at the middle of the month. Here are our basik findings thus far with a month of extensive testing having very little problems or lock ups with the Digi-001.
Duron 650 Single drive ata-100 256mg Digi-001 24 tracks yielding 46 RTAS plug in’s
Duron 850 Single drive ata-100 256kmg Digi-001 24 tracks yielding 55 RTAS plug in’s
T-bird 800 Single drive ata-100 256kmg Digi-001 24 tracks yielding 70 RTAS plug in;s
T-Bird 1100 Single drive ats-100 256kmg Digi-001 24 tracks yielding 80 RTAS plug in’s
Of course you will get more performance with 2 drives but the AMD did yield an impressive plug in count.We have through testing discovered the glitch in the via chipset that caused the older chipsets to crash pro tools every time.
The next two weeks will be devoted to pitting the performance of the same demo song with the same video card and ram using a PIII-650,PIII-850, and a PIII-1000Mhz to see the differences.
We sincerely hope that this information and weeks of testing various boards helps give you confidence in us as a Custom Builder of Digital Audio workstations.
