--> Ive been looking around at hardware to put in the omputer, that can help with audio processing. I know of the uad-1, the poco platform, the creamware pulsar...

The Uad-1 is affordable, but well, it only runs the ua plugs that are a bit conventional.
Which are great for mixing and mastering...

What Im really looking for is something to be able to run reaktor without worries. Could link be a solution? Anybody have an idea how well it integrates; ie can you disassemble a patch, and replace the filters with that outboard machine?

Any other cards out there that keep cpu load down, and also accept any and all plugs?

i don't know about the rest (heard a couple of times that the UAD is good ; some deadly good plugs in the pack) , but stay away as much as possible from creamware pulsar ! it's a real pain in the ass . and before anybody jumps in to correct me , yes i gave it a very fair and long chance to work .

and about your link , sknote , i think it could also burn you . why risk and go with unknown products . go with the flow on this things ..

My advice is just upgrade your computer as much as possible, because to conveniently run stuff like Reaktor and the other NI plugs they're going to have to be hosted on your machine. A good way to give yourself more CPU room to work with complex instruments is to invest in something like Powercore or UAD, or Liquid Mix to take the burden of mixing off your computer, so your soft synths alone are using your power.

That RealThing looks a little sketchy. Receptor might be a little rough around the edges compared to hosting plugs on your pc, but it's been around for a while.

edited : whats great about a pci card, is you don't buy an extra box to put in your room. It just takes up the empty place in the pc.
Im gonna go with keeping the pc up to date. Thanks for the advice.

yeah pci is good for performance , too . not attaching to your valuable fw or usb slots all the time . but external soundcards offer better quality to the in and out (DAC) section because of the minimal interference . cards hosted in the actuall computer box are susceptible to interfernce ..
so if the pci card is dsp processing only it's good , if it's a sound card- dsp processing combination i would avoid it

holy shit that receptor now can show up in your sequencer as a plugin thanks to this "uniwire" thing - anyone played with this? The last time I saw one of those it basically was like sequencing a sound module, you had to hook up midi and audio and so on.
