Ps: I worked for Otari CPD for a number of years and was the developer of
the software for their first 100% digital console [the Advanta]. It used up
to 14 [can I mention it] PC computers running QNX [a realtime version of
Unix] for worksurface control and up to 72 SHaRC digital signal processors
for audio processing. It was quite a project. Although the "professionals"
could (and did) make fine mixes with it, all I could create was "noise"
