32 Channel IO Limit.. WHY?
 

AVID, why on earth do you want to limit the I/O count of your flagship DAW product. Why make life so hard for your customers. No other DAW on the market today has such a silly limitation.

I really won't buy an expensive HDX interface and PT 2018 Ultimate license to get around this issue, it's just insane.

Please reconsider your marketing strategy, currently we don't use PT 2018 and our C24 anymore because of this.. you're loosing market share.

One HDX card allows for 64 IO.

marketing reasons

Because money.

Re: 32 Channel IO Limit.. WHY?
 

Its not the flagship product. HDX is the flagship. HDN hardware is the median setup that allows 64 IO. All 3rd party hardware is limited to 32. If you need more, you can buy the correct product for your needs from Avid, or use a different DAW:o Having said that, I suspect the limit will change in the bear future to coincide with the new channel/track expansion options. Most music makers get by fine with 32 IO, and users that don't, spend the extra money...

^ this.

I could mix a large venue gig with 32 i/o if needed, and considering HDN offers 64 i/o it's really not a problem for me ...

... and sheesh, people, cannot you remember that those 1998 model shiny new best of the breed MIX systems had a limitation of 48 i/o (64 voices) and you could not have more no matter how many millions you paid :D:D:D

you can buy a HD Native Thunderbolt for $800.00 these days and get an Ultimate Subscription rental or perpetual - if you can afford 64 channels of I/O you can afford it - If you think its expensive - you need to charging more for studio time.

Re: 32 Channel IO Limit.. WHY?
 

Yea, cost of HDN is trivial compared to 64 channel interface AND 64 channels of preamps. More than that? HDX. And even then one card is 64 i/o and for more you need more cards.

Re: 32 Channel IO Limit.. WHY?
 

Dante interfaces like the Focusrite Red Net and Red range make that less of an expense. Assuming you have access to a system that already has the preamps, like a live console and networked I/O. And Dante Virtual Soundcard only costs $29.
