HDX latency vs. HD Accel

[blairl]

One of the hallmarks of the TDM cards is the ability to track with extremely low latency. I can track live with several plug-ins with musicians in iso booths listening to each other via headphones with no noticeable latency.

Even the newer HD native card does not match the latency specs of the TDM cards.

I am assuming that Avid recognizes that the extreme low latency of the TDM system is something that put them far ahead of all competitors in terms of using the system for tracking, and I hope that the new HDX cards either match or beat the latency specs of the TDM system.

Can someone at Avid confirm that the latency of the HDX card is as good or better than the TDM systems? Can the AAX plug-ins be used in the same way that TDM plug-ins were used (recording with plug-ins enabled with extremely low latency)? Do you have any specific latency specs?

Thanks!

I heard on the web chat last night that latency with HDX card at 96K is 0.07 msec. That is, of course, with one of the new Avid interfaces.

Its actually .7 ms

Sorry, typed that one in wrong. Thanks for the correction.

Question is if the AAX plugins have the same low latency as TDM

So thats about 40 samples or so right?

Is that TOTAL latency throughput, as in input-->ADC--->PT--->a track in record routed to 1-2 --> DAC ?

I actually forget what the latency is of current TDM systems. About the same right? As long as Im under 100 samples when tracking, its fine.

Does anyone know off hand the default number for a basic HD1's throughput, in samples, using only a sound source, a track in record, and sent to the output..

Thanks,

It says clearly analogue>analogue latency.

It also says that they tested hdx with hd i/o vs hd accel with 192.

So this is really testing the difference in convertors and i guess that hd and hdx actually have the same latency.
