hmm not quite a few hundred dollars! the card which aphex uses cost
about2000 UK pounds ($3200).... and god knows how much pro tools is
selling for these
days....... oh and my Akai is definately not faster than
my PC! sure it can do stuff that i currently cant do with my PC
efficiently,
i.e. midi control, but functions such as timestretch and resample take
twice as long.
