12.6 and 32-track non-avid IO limit
Does anyone know if the new policy of 'un-linking' PT HD software product from the hardware evident in 12.6 has removed Avid's limit of 32 channels of simultaneous I/O from non-Avid hardware (such as RME or Waves MADI sound cards, for example)? We'd certainly buy extra licences if this was the case.

The 32 io limit is for every 3rd party system, it is not a vanilla/HD thing.
max 32 if you have 3rd party interface max 64 if you have Avid HDN more if you have Avid HDX

Re: 12.6 and 32-track non-avid IO limit
yes, but it's an artificial limit placed on the user by Avid to force users to buy Avid hardware. All other similar level DAWs (Nuendo, Reaper etc) can do as many core-audio I/Os as the computer specs can cope with. Given the move towards re-badging other peoples hardware as Avid, and separating sales of software and hardware (done earlier for Vanilla, now for HD), one could only hope this limit could be removed.

Yes, perhaps some day. If they don't mention anything about the change, it probably remains unchanged. Haven't tested on 3rd party interfaces though, but I would think they make a huge point about this if they drop it with some release.

Re: 12.6 and 32-track non-avid IO limit
This drove me crazy when I used a TC interface. 32 i/o limitation....? ok fine, but at least let us pick what 32.

I can't believe that is a response in 2016!

Re: 12.6 and 32-track non-avid IO limit
There are a few interfaces that will go beyond the 32i/o limit, such as Focusrite's Rednet HD32R and Red 4Pre and 8Pre, the Apogge Symphony I/O, Lynx Aurora, and Waves Digigrid DLI and DLS. But they require an HDX or HD Native card to operate.

Re: 12.6 and 32-track non-avid IO limit
Yes, but in that sense the interface to PT is HDN/HDX

Word on the street (allegedly a comment by Avid staff at a trade fair) is that Avid licensed only 32 I/O with Steinberg (who owns ASIO). I guess they have to pay more for the 64 I/O to Steinberg. Then again, crippling ASIO I/O was certainly in their product management interest too. |
