Happy with my HDX

[garnoil]

I am about 1/2 way through my first feature on HDX. So far the system is great, it has crashed 2 times in 4 days (my TDM would crash at least twice a day), and it feels snappy, loads very quickly, and runs smoothly. At this point on this film, considering that I sill have many more sounds and about another 60 tracks to come, I am using 160 voices, in a combination of stereo, mono, 5/1 and aux tracks. All sfx and music tracks - about 100 tracks of different configs- have the Sys 5 plugin in DSP, DX tracks - 8 of them for now but there will be more- have Equality followed by double instances of DNS, the master dx bus has Equality, Nugen ISL, and Avid de-esser, all other auxes have Chanel Strip DSP. My aux masters have 4 instances of Digi verb DSP for reverb support (not as main verbs), 2 instances of Reverberator, 1 instance of Waves IRL conv, 1 instance of Revolver conv, 1 instance of Waves 5/1 spacial verb with its imager. My buses have and special effects have PSP echo, Lowender, DDL.

My DSP monitor is about 1/2 full for one HDX card, and my CPU hovers at around 20%. There is no way my TDM Accel 2 PCIe could have ran this session without choking. All, in all...a great investment:)....!
