Hi everyone,
I worked with some guys up in New York a couple of years ago that were talking about building a Mac that would run the G Series Automation. Last time I heard from them, they dropped the idea because the time, money, and effort that would be put into development would be too much. There isn't enough consoles out there with owners who are willing to buy something like this to even break even with the production costs. And with Pro Tools, it doesn't seem like there is enough engineers out there that use the VCA Automation. I would love to see someone develop this, working on the G Computers is a pain.
The switching PSU's is an interesting idea. I am curious to how they will turn out and sound. I would be concerned about having noise issues. The 9000J uses switching supplies, along with about 600lbs of transformers for filtering and power conditioning. Hope it turns out well and is a success, Good Luck
