Wot is yor DAW? (was: RE: OK, I Give Up)

[Andrew Tarpinian]

The new trend is making no holds barred plugins as far as processing power. I think diva was one of the first to do this, but I see them more and more now. Now these plugins do sound very good, but it's depressing when they kill your computer with a few instances. It's like oh my computer is so fast I can run all this stuff, oh wait...

But, I still appreciated them because of the quality of their plugins.  However, every plug that comes out becomes more and more processing greedy to the extent that their new Culture Vulture plugin only gets TWO instances on my UAD Duo (500euro 2x SHARC Processor card).  A few years back and their typical run count on my card would be anything up to 60 instances!
