You will be able to use all the cards for I/O though -- 384 I/O max now.

I paid my fee after Xmas, sure in the knowledge that more voices were coming in the 'near future', then I had to wait until May for 2019.5 and what do I get, nothing.... Oh, a new iPad layout for the free Control App, very helpful. What's the point? Someone mentioned that they thought a HDX firmware update before the summer would sort this out. I'll take a bet on that, as I don't expect we'll be seeing anything new until the winter sets in. By which time, I and few other editors will probably have sold their HDX cards, bought native boxes and have pocketed the change. I'll accept any reasonable offers for my card, if anyone's looking. |

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
What a major conundrum and catch 22.
I'm on a HDN and was ecstatic when I heard PT 2019 was adding 128 track. It's a HUGE plus and major breakthrough in workflow for late 5.1 films. At first PT11 broke the 32 bit barrier going 64 with more power and first time ever utilizing the Mac Pro's potential and of course being able to use more then the 3-4GB ram limit. So paid the re-instatement plan to go PT2019.5 of 1K, because of the added 128 voice ONLY to find out that now I have more tracks and thus using more (and of course more bus/aux/etc) more CPU and getting our beloved -9173. So I was opting to give in and get an HDX card for more HP in the CPU area. Every % helps in the CPU....ONLY....to find out that not only do I end up spending $3,699 for a card (plus the re-instatement of the $1,000) but I loose my extra 128 tracks and go back to 256 after spending about 5K? Huh?

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
They have been dark on this for too long. Im thinking about selling my hdx cards and grabbing a native card plus voice packs.

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
Too long? Hardly. They stated that there was a technical issue that prevented releasing a 2019.3 and what they did was releasing .5 and .6 while sorting it out, so if 3mth is too long I have to find that facepalm emoji somewhere.
Of course everyone would like it to happen yesterday, but so long as they don't say it cannot be done I wouldn't be too worried about it. Given the summertime, I wouldn't hold my breath for immediate release but if I had to guess, we're waiting for 2019.9(ish) with the voice upgrade.

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
obviously what is too long or isnt too long is a personal decision. For instance, from what I know about you 3 years would be explained as fine.

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
I'll just ignore that.
With that said, there are no promises that the voice upgrade even is going to happen, just rumors that Avid happened to confirm. They were seriously trying to include that into (then planned) 2019.3 release but can you blame them for not releasing it bcs they know certain percentage of cards would have failed on upgrade?

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
what i blame them for is announcing it as a possibility. When they said they would do it the first thing I thought was "how?" and clearly thats exactly what the engineers are banging their heads on. "How can we do what the mba's tell us?"

Re: HDX card still only shows 256 tracks
anyways you should be happy. This means I'll be giving avid another $1500 in voice pack money.
