"Nuendo was all I used... In fact, it was the only thing
I could have used considering that a lot of the songs were 70+
channels of 24 /96khz audio."
"Both of the Nuendo rigs that Fred and I used were identical.
They were built by Soundchaser. I had them with the Supermicro
370DE6 MB with dual channel 68 pin SCSI. They also had ATA 100
removable chassis on them."
"I went with the Supermicro because of the dual P3 support
with SCSI onboard and I figured when I had the systems built,
it was more important to have a SOLID system than a FASTER system.
The SCSI on the MB allows for a better performance without bogging
down the PCI bus with a dedicated PCI SCSI card."
"The work drive was the Medea AudioRaid pro 160 GB. This
system rocks!!!!! 4 IDE drives in a 1U chassis connected via
68 pin SCSI. The raid controller and processor are in the chassis,
it doesn't use any CPU cycles to access the raid. The computer
thinks it is a single 160gb SCSI drive."
"Everything was redundantly backed up to the removable
ATA 100 drives."
"DB technology "Blue" Convertors were used on
both ends of the record. 48 channels of input (during tracking)
96 channels on output (for mixing)."
"My rig was also networked to the Euphonix transfer station
for transfers of the files back and fourth. The sessions were
saved as AES 31 and we would simply grab the folders and copy
them to the local Nuendo directory. When the edits were complete,
we would copy them back to the Transfer Station and paste them
back to the R1 session. This was pretty simple..... Euphonix
is now offering Transfer Stations with Nuendo installed on the
system."

"And that how it went. I don't use PT...... I have found
ways to make Nuendo do 99% of every situation.... The other
1% are workarounds."
"There were 30+ mics on the drums. There were not 30 discrete
channels of drums though. Maybe 18 to 26 channels of drums recorded
to the R1. There were also triggers recorded.....with the live
drum tracks."
"Drumagog was used extensively on the tracks for enhancements
of the original signals. The samples came from several different
places, including sample sessions of David's kit from Conway
Studio."
"Ya know...... If PT was 96khz at the time and there was
a valid transfer protocol to the R1, then PT most likely would
have been used....... But, it wasn't!!!!"
"Nuendo was almost the only option to do these edits and
track counts, but, Fred Maher, Michael Beinhorn, Frank Fillapetti
and myself, all agreed that Nuendo was sonically superior, especially
with X fades and processing. Fred Maher has now sold his PT
rig and uses Nuendo exclusively."
