You're absolutely right, who on Earth would ever want a mobile mastering facility to run w/ a laptop.braincell wrote:Forget VDAT recording. It's going to be an obscure bit of trivial history soon. Sconic Core went from a studio technology to Xite-1 which seems to be designed for live musicians yet it still requires a computer. They lost their focus and they put all their eggs in one basket based on what they wanted to own rather than what musicians need and can afford.
Not every musician would want this, but I guarantee many producers, FOH engineers, Monitor Mixing engineers and certain performers will be using it.
Just like Intel would release their unlocked multiplier CPU's first and later on have consumer models available, SC has left their options open.
I will enjoy making money off of it, and by the time they have 64bit drivers they might have smaller units w/o mic pre's, half of the DSP's.....
UAD is prooving to the SC boys how desirable DSP platforms still are, and are also showing lower sales on their Quad cards because they released the smaller more affordable models simultaneously.
But your prediliction for prophecy is appreciated.
