Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
I think the OP is right on and is probably what Avid is looking to implement in the not so distant future.
Basically an HD I/O with the HDX card inside and a TB port. Simple, effective, elegant. I'm not buying an HDX card, Magma Chassis, HD IO etc....but I would buy the All In One HD solution in a HEARTBEAT. |

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
If I could have something comparable to an HD3 system that's portable, that would be ULTIMATE for the way I work....I just got an HD system in my studio for mixdowns but I spend TONS of time in my home working on parts in my Macbook Pro/Venom setup....I can also take the MacBook Pro/Mbox Pro setup to my friends house to record his guitar parts or whatever parts really....Ultimately I'm going to dump all that stuff over to the HD system so I have enough power to mix it all down but if I had a system like your talking about, I could simply take it out to the studio, plug it directly into my listening environment and start the mixdown....You could even have a rough mix ready before you set down in your listening environment to make final adjustments.....I agree it would be the best of both worlds....moon

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
OK, so it's been a while since I last posted. It seems like Avid is now pointing itself towards laptop solutions, and maybe a few of you who were singing the praises 6 months ago about the power of the Towers aren't so sure anymore. I've said before - it's not like I do anything different than anyone else, I just sometimes get there first. So how about it? Give me a one-plug, one box Avid HDX Thunderbolt solution. Let the options come in several flavors based on DSP and I/O. Let it be in one box, one thunderbolt to the laptop. All of my audio connections to the one box, portable that I can use with just my retina display or my 3 display setup in my studio. Are we getting near ready yet?!

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
I seriously doubt that, Avid understands the value of this, which is why they came out with HDN thunderbolt. Why in the world would they not want a piece of that pie, especially considering the fate of the MACPRO today? IF they do not address this, they are crazy, and I don't think they are.

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
You're quoting a statement I made 10 months ago. The foreseeable future has come and gone.

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
That would be very limiting because you would not be able to have a different interface if you want.
Now you pick any interface you want Avid/Apogee/Lynx Buy a rack and put it all in one rack. |

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
i've been advocating an external DSP box to replace the TDM cards since early 2010. (long before the HDX cards were launched.)
there's a list of good reasons why giant PCI cards (which are going the way of the dodo bird soon), and antiquated DSP chips should have been abandoned before the HDX transition. neither of these two choices were logical from a technology perspective. unfortunately, there's also a list of good reasons why HDX appeared in the format it did. and they all make perfect sense from a dollars and cents business perspective. in avid's defence on the clunky "card" front, don't forget that still to this day, there is no replacement for the Mac Pro, and the latest available models don't have thunderbolt. avid's HD products are aimed at professional facilities, none of whom are running their systems on TB equipped laptops! (and very few running windows machines!) so at least avid has a good excuse on that point. IMO there's no excuses for the dinosaur DSP chips though. to me it's akin to selling day-olds as freshly baked... YMMV |
