You'll never have to wonder if you can add one more track.
It's 3am. You've been working on that song since the sun came up the day before. Suddenly inspiration strikes and you're ready to lay down a harmony so sweet it would make John Lennon green with envy. The question is: can you squeeze one more track in there and still have the power to add reverb and compression? With ION, the answer is yes. That's what it means to be an audio computer.
AMD FX-Series 6-Core processor.
