Wow, those really are some craptacular speakers...although I guess I shouldn't say that, a tool is only as good as the person who wields it and I guess that works in reverse too :)

Not my thing musically, but a good watch to see all that groovy real-time manipulation and mouseless operation. Nice!

Don't fancy telling us which miracle speakers these are, precisely? 8) Just out of interest more than anything else - are you truly talking about a pair of craptacular PC World "Gaming and Multimedia" speakers?

Yes i'm talking about those "craptacular" PC speakers from 2000/2001, brand is Kynio. I dont have the exact reference from where i'm writting you now. It's obviously impossible to find these and out of production :roll:

this is already available in the focusrite DSP Pro series audio interfaces. the VRM feature was actually a selling point for me. it's not a gimmick, i find it really does help out in the mastering stage.

Positive review from Tape Op:

http://www.tapeop.com/reviews/738/

They are reviewing the Saffire PRO 24 DSP, which has VRM.

"I am buying this unit not because I need another audio interface, but because this one has VRM. "

anyone here using one of these out yet?

i'm wondering about the CPU hit and extra latency involved:

So what's the verdict on this thing? Has anyone been using it?

Does the software install at the OS level or at DAW level? Is latency an issue?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I've had good results with TB Isone when I can't use my main monitors.. look it up.. it'll be the best $25 you'll spend on any plug-in..

There's been a few folks who've done stuff like this in the past, software and hardware, and it never comes close to the real deal. I'd be surprised if this was any different.
