HDX and Heat

[Rubicon]

Will Heat work on HDX and will it need to be upgraded $$$ to run?

Yes, the Avid engineers said last night that HEAT would be AAX compatible. My understanding was that it will only run on the dsp card and not the host.

I wonder if it sounds better?

It's really hard to say at this point. I think it sounds good right now, but who knows how it will sound in the new 32 floating bit environment. Dave said that HEAT sounds a lot better when you give it some headroom, and that's been my experience as well.

Would have been nice to have the option to run it natively. Ah well.

I agree. it's a nice plugin to have, and I'll miss it if I go to HD Native. The good news is that Phoenix will run Native, so maybe I'll sell HEAT and pick up the license for Phoenix.
