Whats the objective?
Apollo is NOT a DSP assisted tracking system. It's a native system with DSP plugins. for tracking, it's not going to be any better than a PT Native system (and possibly worse, due to the lack of PT hardware integration).

The difference here is that the PCIX PT cards are as compatible as the PCIe cards - it was just a format change (and a slight performance boost). Now, HDX is the way forward, and TDM is on the last update. We've been told that. So, whilst there's a market for used TDM systems, it's a different market to the one for used PCIX systems that existed previously.

If I've ever helped you with a technical problem or provided you with advice you found useful, you can more than repay me by checking out, and maybe buying a couple of songs, by a singer I'm working closely with. It would be much appreciated!
