Hello everyone,
Local shop has an Elevenrack for sale at a good price BUT I've read THIS review and it's scared me. Scroll down about a third of the way to where he starts talking about how much he had to spend on his PC to get it working. Is he blowing out of his ass or is it correct?

Don't be scared. The review you've linked to has jumbled together two reviews: one for ProTools LE and another for the Eleven Rack. Many of his complaints, including the bit you seem to be most worried about, where he indicates he needed to buy a new PC, is about ProTools, not the Eleven.
He doesn't seem happy with the sound of the Eleven, but there are plenty demos you can find to listen to and you can try it yourself. I'm sure Todd will chime in here to let you know what he thinks  .-------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

Cheers Todd,
If it is second hand can you get the stand alone editor from the manufacturer? -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Sounds like you may have waited to long on the store unit. If you see another one, snag it! It's better to by local than to try to ship all the way across the pond and hope for the best. It's a long way to travel and if there is an issue, you have a long way to ship it back and the shipping will NOT be cheap, not to mention the problems at the border where they try to snag you with a big fee. I tried to send a noise gate to ben higgins in the UK and listed it as a "gift" to avoid customs fees but to no avail and it was so pricey to get past the border that he just let them return it. Of course, I"m sure some folks will tell you the exact other thing. THat it's smooth as glass and all. But my experience is that it's NOT worth it to go across the pond. Another one will come along locally, you just gotta pull the trigger a bit quicker Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ Oct 14 2015, 03:06 PM) Thanks Chris
