Default Re: HDX end-of-cycle?

The post I was responding to was referring to HDX2 vs. HDnative (which is the most logical next step up from HDn since HDX1 has the same amount of voices.
Actually HDX1 can have much less when you think about bussing and native plugins.

A large surround session with native plugs that runs fine on HDn will definitely not run on HDX1 and might not even run on HDX2 in some cases. This is very easy to prove.

If you tend to run large track count and lots of busses etc. I'd recommend HDn over HDX1 any time. In this case HDX1 is actually a step down if voice count is your priority.

If you need zero latency monitoring and only track 16-20 mic-ins as your daily business HDX1 can be an advantage.

So as I said it depends on what your criteria is. Just trying to give some perspective to the OP.
