Default Just doing the math to upgrade to HDX

Hi,

This is to replace my HD6 and 3 interfaces to give me all the I/O I need. Plus computer and control surface!

All UK £ prices

HD3 and 1 blue interface to 1 HDX card and HD 8-8-8 ........ £5278
1 extra HDX card. 1 HD 16-16 and 1 extra HD 8-8-8 .......... Approx £15000
New computer as Harpertown is not compatible ................. Approx £1500
New control surface to replace control 24 not supported after 10..... £5000

Total so far ..... £26.778

Plus the numerous plugin updates needed £?
New cabling for the interfaces and control surface £?

Maybe recoup a bit on the chassis and 3 remaining cards. £2000

Umm don't think I'll be buying a new HDX system in a hurry, if ever!

So to think I would invest into HDX and if that's the reason the PT9 HD upgrade is £740 well I just to see the logic in stinging loyal HD owners for the software only option.

Yes of course I want to continue with the latest PT features the same as I have done since buying HD, 8 years ago. And the same as mix owners did for many years after HD was released! But £740 just to keep the software up to date
