Working well here so far. No crashes, but I don't generally use plug-ins.

I've been looking to see if there are any dedicated mastering programs that would work for me, preferably for MAC, as my current set-up has a couple of insurmountable limitations
I use PTs as a playback/record unit, with seldom any plug-ins, and WaveBurner for assembly/writing. I've got a system and PTs setup that really works well for me but the limitation is that you can't load different sample rates into the same session and I'd like to use my Lavry 3000S to SRC in real time so to do that, I'd have to get another computer to record to.
I'd also like to monitor the previously mastered 16/44.1 files as am working on the next master while also having the option to hear it at the destination sample/bit rate.
In theory, SB seems like a good choice. Of course I've been reading all the posts about it and I wouldn't have considered using it so far, based on most of the comments.
Right now, I have to convert anything other than 44.1k after I master it and, while myself and my clients are happy with the results, I'd still like to hear the exact end result as I'm working.
I know Sequoia will do this with 2 sound cards and apparently it will run via Boot Camp on the new Macs. However, these two items together are very pricey. SB is by far the more economical choice plus I could continue using my G5 2.5 dual processor.
So, will SB load two different sample rate in the same session?
Will it allow recording back in to it at different sample rates.
And lastly, I'd like to know from the pros that have SB, is this version something you are confident that you can use exclusively on a daily basis
Comments are greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
