I chose this machine because I wanted to gain power CPU without changing the computer, I also wanted to improve the "mastering" of my pieces. I have an iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB Ram, 2.16GHz ) I'm using the poco with Logic Audio and Ableton Live.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stables.Pour the moment, I was not able to crack the four DSPs, but at the same time I only use compressors, reverb in one or two SEND and the Master x3 ... so I do not push the machine.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is no problem s'ait must just be careful how you plug the audio card (Firewire) and external hard drives (firewire in tjs). the config is clear, I regret that the poco plugin shows ALL in the window of Ableton Live. It's drunk, because there BCQ plug which I have not the license! Manuel? no manual, you have to download .. print ... read ... It's going :-)
sinbon all the plugs are of quality for a price "reasonable" compared to the number of plug supplied

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? 6 months. What is the particular feature you like best and least? Plus: THE MASTER MEGA REVERB and x3 and Dynamic Eq! the rest of the plugins Deliv are generally of good quality, easy to use. It's still a good tool that POCO. THE SH101 is nice, it has something to play with.
Tubifex is good too (not bad at all even!).

the least: the poco comes with lots of plug which is not licensed with some demos of 20h ... buy it pushes the plug ins (well I say that but once we know the price is forgotten quickly!)
I'm not a fan of the compressor (trs is good but I wanted even better! gournmandise ah!)
