Does anyone know what is the different between Acousticaudio Nebula2 & Nebula3?

Thanks.

Nebula2 is a limited freeware release, and I think N3 is the comercial one.

no, there are free (restricted) versions of both 2 and 3
I didn't check all details, but version 3 supports processing on some NVidea graphic cards, which is a pretty obvious choice for this type of application.

cheers, Tom

Does it mean that Nebula can use NVidia graphic card power instead of PC CPU?

No no. I know since i almost purchased one. Then i hear for scope platform. There is both of limited versions. N2 and N3. With limited amount of programs. So you can buy N2 and then you have access to over 4gb of sampled material or you can buy N3. N2 is discounted regarding support etc. but library is working on both N2 and N3. N3 is main commercial product and guys are focused on bugfixes, Cuda development (you can run N3 on nvidia cuda graphic) anv various other things etc. You can read all about on KVR.

IMO Nebula is one of those promising technology. It does have fantastic sound compared to crap VST effects but technology need some time. If you are working with VST i can only recommend Nebula. But try free version first to see can it suit you. It is CPU hog for now and it does introduce big delay so you cant use it live but technology is improving every day and these guys are serious.

Regards!

Yes but you should read some paper on Nebula. You must have newest nvidia card well at least one with Cuda platform (8xxx series) and development is not yet finished but they promised this. And they are serious so there is no reason why should you not trust them. But are you aware of delay introduced in that setup? I mean it is not major hog since most of host does have auto PDC (plugin delay compensation) but for live application it is no go.

Host-Cuda-Soundcard-then your monitors....Again nothing to worry if you dont do live gigs...
