Apex « FAT! »
Published on 12/21/10 at 07:16I'm not gone through the old versions that were it seems problematic.
The new version is very stable 2.XX I have had no problems.
The manual is very well done with an array of different waveforms at the end. One can only regret that it is in English. Core i7 3.5GHz
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
-6GB of Ram
- SSD
PowerCore Express PCIe cards -2
SSL Duende PCIe card -2
I have a lience multi-DSP and I can use without crashing up to 8 simultaneous Virus (each with 4 shares, but I prefer to dedicate a plug to a sound).
It works very well, I was afraid of getting into trouble when I read a number of problems encountered by other users.
A little advice if you want to use multi-DSP: choose a PCIe to PowerCore (X8) external Firewire is really limited to use multiple instances of the virus (you will have the same power that by combining 2 X8 PowerCore Express PCIe and it would be cheaper and more).
I find instead that the multi DSP license should be automatically integrated with the plugin, price is a bit abused! I recommend you purchase the license transfer is going very well with TC.
OVERALL OPINION
I use since June 2010 and I am delighted.
It is light years away from other VSTi level sound is pure, it sounds great, I can very quickly become indispensable.
The only native plugin which can be approached at the sound quality is Tone2 Gladiator.
