Or simply stay where I am?
What are the Major benefits of moving to HD 10? Clip Gain alone is worth the price for heavy editing(which you probably do). Regardless of upgrading PT software, convert any older SD II sessions to wave(SD II files are not read on the newer systems).


Would I benefit from upgrading TDM cards? HD2 HD3? Maybe. Do you ever run out of voices or plugin processing power? Modern native systems on current computers usually have more horsepower than even HD3. If you NEED more horsepower, second-hand Accel cards are a bargain, these days





Or simply stay where I am? If it ain't broke....why fix it?


Last 2 cents; moving to PT10 and adding cards would give you more power, Clip Gain and compatibility with others running newer systems, which would make moving projects back and forth with other studios much easier. That's all I have to offer. Maybe others will have more reasons to help you decide
