yes it will run 32ch strips at once it is limited to that amount. i am not sure how many buss comps you can run. i had the pleasure of playing around with it at tape op running on a powerbook g4 with protools le/002r. it did add a very insignificant amount of cpu(powerbook) usage when the plugs were active. as for the duendo itself it seemed to run very stable as far as passing audio through all 32 ch strips and the buss comp on the mst fader. but there were a couple of gui issues., neither were deal killers but did add a slight amount of anoyance to using the plugs. first was not all controls displayed a value setting as you adjusted the knob. not a big deal we all have ears right? the second was much more bothersome. the metering in ther channel strip seeamed to take nearly a second to update as you made changes, agian as long as you use your ears its fine, just not the quality i would expect from ssl. as far as sound goes it would be impossible to make an informed conclusion as the listening enviroment was less the ideal (headphones/noisy room) the price was right around 1600 us
