Re: What's the difference between HD Native and HDX?
Delay comp is the same for both systems, with PT HD 10.
Each HDX card can do 256 tracks. So one would be the same as HD Native, which is also 256 tracks with PTHD10 (not with HD9). The advantage being that with HDX you can expand up to 3 cards, with HD Native, you can't. For most music users, 256 should be adequate. Post Production users on large projects may appreciate the larger track count.
HDX handles both mixing and plugins, with the option to offload some processing to the computer. HD Native handles neither of those. What HD Native handles is the I/O, which still takes a significant load off the computer, allowing you to run larger track counts/plugins at lower buffers than you could with the typical firewire/usb interface. It also allows lower latency at the same buffer than those interfaces for the same reason.
