hd recorders

[Mikko Helin]

I just tried the Guillemot's new ISIS card today in a local
music store. The converters (4xADC = 8 channels) are really clean, 
Cool Edit showed a -130 dB noise floor (which is about 93 dB SNR).
It's a really inexpensive card ($350 in EU-rope), compared to 
Mixtreme or ThreeDAT. There are now plenty of those
little studios on a PCI card, and the prices will drop
definitely all the time. The SB Live! f.ex. is said to
have 1000 MIPS on it's DSP, and some people are running
the driver software of E-Mu APS (same chip on both cards) 
on it in order to get it to mix five HD tracks + 64 MIDI channels 
with a lots of different FX's in Cubase VST (through ASIO drivers).
