Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
Quote:
Thanks, Darryl. My AVID dealer counsels me that I may not be happy with the tracking latency on HD Native, as I'm used to the latency we've had with the TDM HD system. Apparently HDX offers even less latency than I now have with HD TDM. As for UAD, those plugs are never serially placed on any track at record time, so the UAD adds no latency to what I track. I'm leaning towards a single HDX card and the 3-slot Sonnet chassis which, I am told, offers a quieter fan than the Magma chassis fa. Thanks again, John Caldwell

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
Now that hardware is unbundled, you could buy an HD Native card, try it out and then replace it with HDX if you have any problems. Input latency is the only difference because 64 bit Pro Tools is dual-buffer. It doesn't work the same way as TDM so the numbers are comparing apples to oranges.
As for sound, HDX plug-ins are more efficient running native than most native-only plug-ins.

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
Yes, an idea Bob. I suspect my dealer would accommodate an Native > HDX card exchange.
Did it surprise to read above that some feel the HD Mix Engine sounds different when the HDX cards are in use, vs. the sound of the engine running purely natively on the CPU? The assertion is that the Native-only operation sounds best.

Re: We need a Thunderbolt HDX system
Yes, because you are avoiding the IO buffer. But the question is how small an IO buffer can you stably track at? And does that additional latency cause a problem or not. And it may not matter if most plugins are AAX-Native... you need to check if the plugins you want to use have AAX-DSP versions, or there are alternatives that do, or not.
