DSP Cards for Computer Music work

In the category, Waves are offering up the NetShell APA44M Audio Processing Accelerator  for our consideration... What's it all about then?

The APA is a hardware solution that lets you easily run multiples of Waves’ most CPU-intensive plug-ins. For example, the APA32 lets you run 6 IR-1 Reverbs, or 9 Linear Phase Equalizers, or 12 C4 Multiband Parametric Processors at 44.1KHz. The APA44-M is even more powerful, giving you up to 30% more plug-in power than the APA32. What’s more, the APA units don’t require a PCI card or a Firewire or USB connection. You simply connect them to a standard Ethernet port, install the new NetShell software, and cut loose.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Cards

DSP cards house purpose-designed micro-processors built specifically for digitally processing signals in real time, generally.

This is where you get to tap into the realm of true advanced audio processing power which utilise powerful fine-grained algorithms to give you superior effects and control.
