Pro Tools HD Upgrade

Wow, I just upgraded my mixing rig to the Pro Tools HD Accel 3 rig, with a crapload of my favorite plug in's. I was mixing on a monsterous Pro Tools TDM system, which i loved, (i actually still have it and use it), but this one is even better. I think my favorite plug in's so far are the URS "Fulltec" (like a Pultec on steroids) and the Sony Oxford stuff. I got the super sweet Oxford GML option, all the dynamics, inflators, etc..... and the Oxford reverb i swear sounds better than a Lexicon 960, and its so versatile. One of the best digital reverbs i've ever heard as a plugin or outboard. I also have the full WAVES Platinum bundle, which has more than everything you'd ever want to mix with. The Waves De-esser shines, along with their supertap delays, and the mastering stuff. The thing about Waves, they make really good solid stuff, not the best, but stuff a mixer like me really should not be living without. I'm pretty impressed with the software package that came with the Accel 3 System to begin with, though i gotta say, any system that costs more than a good car should come with plenty of bells and whistles.
Anyway, its Saturday night, I just finished up a super hot R&B mix, and its time to go out for dinner and a movie and pretend to have a social life again for a night. Maybe Batman Begins. We'll see.

Yeah, HD3 Accel rips. I made the move awhile ago when I thought they were going the end the Mix Hardware upgrade pricing... after this many years with Digi you'd think I'd know better. Anyway, yeah... diggin' HD.
