I have a whole slew of plugins issues, its a PC, and running PT LE. First I run out of tracks.
Then resource wise......I normally create 9-15 Reaktor instantiations which completely freezes up my current computer. I can get about 6 on current system then have to do track bounces, yet I keep tweaking them so it is a constant freeze track, bounce, unfreeze tweak, freeze bounce workflow. Quite annoying. I then use a bunch of soundtoys stuff, reason, and Ableton for beats via rewire and then waves for mxing. That is the reason for getting the Receptor and a new MacPro. I run heavy plugin modules that I create/program myself.
I plan on getting the Rosetta because the 002r ad/da is less than optimal sounding when I compared it with a borrowed Rosetta. That was a night and day difference.
Gtr tracks are both mic'd mesa boogie, Marshal JMP-1 direct, or NI Reaktor/GTR Rig 3 instances.
Single channel would look something like, then times that by 9 for other midi or gtr instantiations:
Reaktor
Echoboy
Filterfreak
Trash
SSL Channel dynamics
Then finally throw in a BDF 2 instance for good measure and some real drum sounding fills to set into the programmed beats. The rest of the tracks are just simple audio samples, loops, etc, etc.
