Are you serious about buying a french car???
I'm about to buy either a nova or virus (maybe the rack version) to upgrade
my setup too...I find using only one VA in my setup (besides my cs2x and
sampler) is just not enough....I allways have to resort to sampled version
of many of my sounds (which in some cases makes em sound better, rougher)
And I must say the nova all look very tasty indeed and are pretty cheap too
(anybody know what european dealer delivers virusses, musiciansgear doesnt')
