Overview
Element digital audio - now available in ludicrous speed
Introducing Element X, the most powerful Rain digital audio workstation ever. With a hardware configuration purposefully designed to prevent data bottlenecks, excess noise and audio engine seizure, Element X provides the ideal platform for your limitless creativity. A newly redesigned system architecture plays each premium component in perfect harmony. From the Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme processor through a super-wide 1333Mhz system bus, 8 Gigabytes DDR-3 RAM and into the 4 Terabytes of RAID-0 storage, your data flows uninhibited, emerging from your speakers in gorgeous, crystal clear digital audio - just as it was meant to be.
64-bit evolution
This is a new age of digital audio production. Utilizing the latest version of Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Element X is able to address up to 8 Gigabytes of RAM - a number that will increase as technology advances. The future of 64-bit processing holds the key to direct-to-RAM recording, greatly enhanced sample playback performance, and true zero-latency operation.
Hardware
