PT12 and PT12 HD surround?
Question #1
So are there still 2 different licenses for Pro Tools 12? HD giving you 8 wide bussing for surround? I see a lot of mention of pt 12 but not so much on 12 HD Question #2 Will the Surround version (PT 12 HD) allow you to use other hardware for surround outputs, Apogee, MOTU, UA ? Thanks |

Both versions of Pro Tools allow you to use almost any interface. Of course, you need something with 6-8 outputs to handle 5.1 or 7.1 surround(and the HD version of PT)

Surround is an HD feature.

QUESTION 1 Answer:
Found this: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/d...12-0-Downloads "Pro Tools HD 12.0 software requires both Pro Tools 12 and Pro Tools HD 12 iLok authorizations (licenses) to run." Surround bus is part of the HD features. Still don't know if it will work with non avid hardware. |

Re: PT12 and PT12 HD surround?
Yes it does. As albee said you only need an interface with at least 6 outputs to feed the 5.1 channels. With that and the PT HD software you're good to go.

Re: PT12 and PT12 HD surround?
Surround sound is a *software feature* in Pro Tools HD, it will wotk with any interface that Pro Tools/Pro Tools HD will work with. It does not need to be an Avid interface. Obviously you need enough actual physical IO do whatever you want.
You can also hack your way into multichannel sound with regular Pro Tools, no rocket science there, and you can find how to do that with a Google search, but yes if you want to make it close to easy then you are going to use Pro Tools HD software. The other option is to use just about any other DAW, many of which include that capability in their much lower-priced products. |

Re: PT12 and PT12 HD surround?
it is pretty clear now that surround features are exclusive to PT HD12, but it is possible to upgrade a PT12 standard license to HD12 in order to get that features without bying Avid interfaces?
thanks, Antonino |

Re: PT12 and PT12 HD surround?
No, Avid doesn't provide any upgrade path from non HD to HD and without a purchase of a HD system you can't get on HD software.
