Plugzilla is interesting, but I can use my Pro Tools / 002 Rack in the

support for both VST as well as native RTAS plugins, as well as an
internal bus arrangement that allows me to mix audio before it comes
back to Ardour.
Throw in 8 96K A/D's and at least 10 96K D/A's and 4 pretty good mic
preamps to boot and the 002 Rack makes a pretty nice outboard processor!
Unless I'm missing something, it's just an I/O box for protools?
I looked at digi's site and didn't see anything about hardware
DSP with this box.
OTOH, the Plugzilla box can run totally standalone.
That's a lot more attractive for live use.
But still hard to justify $3000.
Maybe if I was a gigging keyboardist or something.
What I'd really like is a portable road-hardened box that
could run PD patches (without GUI), LADSPA plugins, and
SAOL orcs. That would really rock.
For adding new patches, hook it up to a computer via usb or firewire or
ethernet, whatever's cheapest to implement.
