The Powercore X8 from TC Electronic is a FireWire based DSP accelerator and software plug-in bundle that's been designed to give producers the extra processing power they need, and provide them with better sounding tools for computer based audio production (Mac and PC compatible). The performance and sound quality of the included plug-ins achieve a higher caliber because they were written specifically to utilize the hardware, and likewise the hardware was tailor-made to support the custom plug-ins.
The X8 comes with a formidable set of these powerful plug-ins, with everything from effects and dynamics, to instruments and restoration tools. There are dozens of custom Powercore plug-ins that are available separately, and even more are being developed and rolled out in an ongoing basis. Among them you will find offerings from some of the most respected names in the industry, such as Access, Sonnox Oxford, Tube-Tech, and more.
Using these tools in your DAW isn't any different from using native VST and AU plug-ins. The Powercore tools will work seamlessly with your current work flow. What you gain by choosing this system is access to some of the finest sounding tools in the industry, and the ability to run a great number of them without taxing your host computer's CPU.
