Default Re: NAMM new HDX or nothing!!!

I asked a (afaik) well informed Avid rep last week about an HDX successor. Said there was nothing on the horizon, or at least not high priority or anything soon.

Personally I wouldn't invest in HDX anymore (I'm in post) unless I would need the IO.

Theoretically you always need one sample for reading in, one sample for processing, one sample for writing out. So those old 4 sample TDM plugs were pretty damn awesome -- only one sample shy from perfect.

So yes, AAX-DSP XL or whatever it would be called is way overdue. I cannot see myself putting my money into these +8 year old cards today because either the cards are going to be updated or going away soon, and neither scenario encourages me to invest.
Couldn't agree more Please sell Avid to competent company.

Yep, it's looking like Avid might be done with HDX.....


Was hoping for an update for tracking purpose.

Can still be very useful for those wanting the computer close by (mac pros are essentially silent now) but not the noise of HDX.. you could run a quality thunderbolt cable and have the rack far away.. I am planning on a HDX2 to start with the goal of going to 3, and I specifically want to do it via expansion chassis so I can keep the noise away from me, as I need access to the computer much more than I do a hdx card.

Why couldn't it? Just install HD Driver and be done with it.

Driver comes with every PT installer. There is some additional content in there, not just installer.
