Upgrade From Mix3 to HD2 why not?

[Dutchmuzik]

If the HD2 is more powerful than a Mix3 system. Why Can't I upgrade my Mix3 to an HD2. I don't need more power just want the latest gear. Digi is there a way to do this, maybe I'll get a rebate. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Actually, I asked a Digi rep this very question last week. As it turns out, not ALL the upgrade offers are posted on the website, and the Mix3 --> HD2 option does exist. I'm embarrassed to say that we got talking about some other things and I neglected to get a price on it, but the delta will likely be similar to that of the cost of the various HD sytems.

Hello,

I'd just like to take a second to clarify what Sound Guy Andy said...

The Hardware Exchange Price List available on this web site DOES actually include all of the exchanges Digidesign offers. What Andre and I were talking about was that he could potentially trade in a MIX Core and a MIX Farm towards an HD 2 system. If a person were to do this, however, they would be missing out on the opportunity to get an additional HD Process card for only $1000 dollars more by trading in the equivalent of a MIX 3 (one core and two farms) instead.

To be extra clear, there are no 3 card for 2 card Hardware Exchanges, and no additional discounts for doing so.

By the way, Andre, the MIXplus to HD2 exchange is $2995 US Dollars between now and 06/30/02.

Thanks everyone!

Whoops! Sorry for the inaccurate translation of our discussion.

Couldn't you just sell the extra Mix Farm that you wouldn't be using? Either that, or you could buy the HD 3 and sell one of the HD Process cards.

Plenty of options.

I don't feel like spending another $5000.00 when I bought my system 5 1/2 months ago. If the HD2 system is as powerful as a Mix3 why not have a path for that for say $1995.

Well I guess simply because digi wants the balance (cash/returned material) to be sufficiently high. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Question to ProdInfo:

Why 882 is not included in Pro ToolsHDExchange Price List? 888 is, and it's a product from the same age, so it's quite hard to see the logic here. I am currently running Mix3 with 882 and it looks that you can't even use 882 with PT HD systems via legacy port.
