Rain Recording Introduces New Element Core I7 Audio Workstation

Rain Recording today unveiled Element Core i7, adding significant speed and power to their flagship line of digital audio workstations. Rain's new Element is a beautiful and distinctive, all-aluminum tower that houses a balanced component architecture designed to endure the most demanding audio production environments. Powered by the new Intel "Nehalem" Core i7 architecture overclocked to 3.6GHz with Rain's Overclock Stability Control (OSC), Element has been thoroughly tested and certified with pro audio software like Pro Tools, Cubase and SONAR. The award winning Element line offers enormous expansion via seven PCI and PCI Express slots, FireWire on the TI Chipset, USB 2.0 and eSATA ports for multiple high-speed connections to audio interfaces and external storage. Like all Rain Recording computers, the newest Element features Rain's Quiet Cool™ System Design that fine-tunes each workstation to prevent audio engine failure, data bottlenecks and heat build-up while markedly enhancing stability and performance. "One of our primary missions is to create a stable platform for audio production", said Kevin Jacoby, COO of Rain Computers. "It doesn't matter whether you're under a tight deadline or simply in the creative zone - when inspiration strikes you want a system that does away with technical boundaries so you can just concentrate on making great music." Available options include up to 12GB of 1333MHz DDR3 Triple Channel memory, 6 Terabytes of high performance conventional and Solid State Drives (SSD), and a choice high definition graphics processors able to power multiple digital displays. The new Element workstation ships standard with Windows XP Pro or Vista Ultimate 64-bit tuned by Rain for audio production to ensure optimum performance and compatibility with industry-standard hardware and software.
