Re: Buying HD
Quote:
Regardless, Motu now have Windows TB drivers for a handful of interfaces, Lynx has a compatible TB card for its Aurora interfaces, Resident audio has a couple amazingly cheap compatible TB interfaces. I had expected Focusrite to have to have TB drivers ready by now for the Claretts, but nothing yet.

Re: Buying HD
When we say PCIe, would madi be thrown into that equation, or just HDN or HDX cards?
I would love to have the direction down before I start running wires through my studio. I would love to get bang for the buck, but I understand that some setups cant do it. Are there any native DSP/PCIe options that could alleviate some the latency? Or are most of those designed to play with HD?

Re: Buying HD
I'm not tryin to be critical, but if you have to ask all these questions, I have to ask you, do you really need HDX? Or is it, you can get a great deal, so you feel compelled to jump on it?
How much would you by paying for the HDX card? What are other options other than HDX for that same money? Apollo, Waves Digigrid?, etc..... Give us some more insight to your current needs, workflow, and what you potentially would be paying for the used HDX card.

Re: Buying HD
It is definitely about the need. I really like the fact that when tracking someone(singer), you can add some effects without having to route outside the box, not that it would be a wrong way to do it, really just for simplicity. I want less hassle when it comes to dealing with latency, it is so annoying when someone ask for a little reverb and then there's the latency. HAHA, drive me nuts.
I am considering other alternatives, like the new Apollo and the new orion 32+, both have onboard DSP. The thing I like about the Apollo is the ability to record the plugin as you go in or just monitor it without printing. But, at the same time there are benefits of working with the avid stuff. If you guys had a chance to start over, what would you lean towards, is it sink the money into HD or go towards some of the newer options out there. Like I said, I am in the process of building a studio with a tracking room, a vocal room and a control room. I have an orion 32 which sounds great, but its the latency that makes me want to go another route.

Re: Buying HD
Considering cost right now, if I were you I'd be buying an HD3 rig, which you can buy for less than the cost of an Apollo 8.
If we are taking tracking, with a need for no latency that is effortless, nothing beats TDM. Apollo, although great, you have to use a separate GUI, same for Waves Digigrid, a deal breaker for me! If UA, thier plugins are very expensive, but granted , very, very good! No freakimg way in the world would I say go HDX for your need. Lots of reasons to HDX I've not seen any for what you have described.
