After watching the video for Superior 2, I am hooked. The sounds in my TD20just sound so weak compared to that video. I am going to build a dedicated PC with multi-core CPU, 4GB Ram, and a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 audio card. I know I need the Superior 2 software but is there anything else I need software wise? I see post about cubase, sonar, and other applications but I dont know what they do. What else do I need and what do these other applications do?

Not too sure myself. I've just scanned posts. Keep seeing discussion of VST plugins. Seems like you need a sequencer to do any recordings? I think audacity is a free one.
I just wanted to post on your GAS! You just got your edrums last month, then a TD-20, and now Superior 2 with a serious PC. Awesome! You make me feel good about my GAS, Thanks.

Superior 2 is a plugin, so you would use it something like Sonar, Cubase, Protools, etc. However, Toontrack also supplies a plugin container called SOLO, which allows you to run Superior, EZdrummer, EZplayer in "stand alone" mode.
What those other applications do (like Sonar) is provide a multi-track audio/MIDI recording environment.

Chris, it looks like we are mirroring our paths. I just recently added my TD20 to my kit along with the VEX Drummers Dream which I absolutely love. VEX ROCKS!
I have also seen the Superior 2.0 video and am totally GASSING over that. I am about to build a new computer for my Protools rig anyway so it just seems logical to add Superior 2.0 to it. From an engineers perspective, S 2.0 is just too damn tempting to not have, particularly considering the price.
I also have a TDW-20 ordered and am really looking forward to seeing what Alan and the rest of the VEX crew come up with for expanded TD20's.
IMHO, S 2.0 and VEX will live in harmony in my environment with each having different applications.

Another one who pre-ordered here and can hardly wait for its arrival ... hope it works fine with Tracktion 2/3 since my BFD2/Tracktion combo came back playing tricks with me ...

I just registered on the Toontrack forum to post a question about computer resources with a large kit in S 2.0. That will ultimately be a major deciding factor for me. At least with module sounds I don't have to worry about my PC running out of grunt as I add more to my kit
HERE'S the question I just posted.

SP - the min/max specs for S2 are in the middle of the page here: http://www.toontrack.com/s20.asp
The large majority of users on that forum will be speaking in terms of VST format. Since you'll be using the RTAS format in PT, watch for relevance - apples and oranges.
A good forum for PT users - www.gearslutz.com
Cheers.
