FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

It is absolutely insane to think of the tens of thousands of dollars spent on HDX cards and Avid interfaces that are limited to 256 voices, when you can spend a thousand dollars on UAD Apollo twin and get 384 voices - 50% more than a HDX user!

Avid.... time to step up on this one... this is a complete scam.

You are literally punishing your most valuable customers! 384 should be the MINIMUM... why not 512? Surely you can do that if a native thunderbolt interface can provide 384 voices.

They can't. they tried and failed so the feature was abandoned.

And EVERY Customer is equally Valuable to any Company!

They could and they did, just that they found out some percentage of old cards fail the firmware update so work is stil in progress. At least this is an announced feature that has not been officially pulled so what do we know until they say something? :eek:

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

They announced that like, what? two years ago now? You'd think if it was possible they would have figured it out by now.

My guess is that the only fix is to replace the cards themselves, and Avid doesn't want to eat that cost and they know their customers will be in an uproar if they try to make them pay for it themselves.

It was supposed tobe 2019.5 feature, but it has been skipped so far.

If you ask me, assuming I remember correctly, they should have just accepted the fact that 15% of the cards need to be replaced on Avid's cost. That would have been far better than this negative publicity. But as always, they didn't ask me :cool:

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

I just wish Avid would say one way or another. If they still intend to do it then say so. If they can’t do it, tell us. That way I’ll probably get another card because I keep running out of voices. But then I’d be really p***** if they then increased the voice count at a later date.

I doubt Avid will pre-announce new features again!

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

For sure. Lesson learnt :cool:

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

Well...here's what they could do instead - unlock 128 I/O in CoreAudio for Pro Tools Ultimate software! We're paying quite a premium every year, yet we suffer being limited on all ends.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
 

There is no HDX software :cool:

Either they open CA limits for all CA or keep it as is. HDX hardware I/O is limited by the hardware you have
