Interface advice for Native
Coming from PT HD3 Accel 10 (which will keep for tracking on Mavericks drive) & just upgraded to PT Ultimate 2019.10 Native (which will use for mixing on Sierra drive).
Want to keep 2012 Mac Pro 5,1/64/3.43 12core cheese grater & since the PCI slots are taken want to know what hardware is recommended for Native. Possibilities I've thought of include: Apogee Symphony w/ Dante (via Ethernet) Lynx HiLo via USB Any others? |

Re: Interface advice for Native
I've been using RME UFX's (MK1 & MK2). Excellent drivers and work well with PTU. Just remember the 32 I/O limit (though you do mention you are using it for mixing)
Also note that in conjunction with Totalmix (included) and the RME Advanced Remote Control, you don't need any other monitor controller... even for surround options.

UA Apollo X8P or X8 all day long! We have 4 of them and they beat the heck outta basically everything we borrowed to test run before buying all these new F series and ven though we had the Black face ones which were traded in.

Re: Interface advice for Native
Won't work - the OP is on a cheesegrater and hence no Thunderbolt ports.

Re: Interface advice for Native
I would suggest that since you are only tracking with HD, to ditch one of the DSP cards and get a USB3 card in there. That way you can hook up a UFX+.
Or depending on the HD interface you are using you could get a RME-Raydat PCIe card and hook up your converters to that. Try to stay away from Firewire interfaces. |

Re: Interface advice for Native
this x1billion. PCIe RayDAT is an absolute diamond of an interface. And with PCIe staying in the new mac pro, it should hold it's value and continue to be updated driver-wise for a long time.

Re: Interface advice for Native
Anyone using DANTE via ethernet cable for Native?
I know it's limited to 32 tracks simultaneously but if one is in the box & only needs 2 to mix it's irrelevant. |

Re: Interface advice for Native
You would still need to free up a PCIe slot for a Dante PCIe card. And buy a Dante interface to get the analog I/O. Not the most cost effective way to go if you ask me.
