Hybrid Mixer and HDX - need a separate "mixing" high-latency DSP mode for tracks
Most of us with HDX cards have for the past 10 years mixed so that most of our plugins are native, hopping back and forth between the DSP mixer and the CPU on Aux Input tracks. With the Hybrid Mixer, we need that functionality back, but the other way around - to have a track be able to use AAX DSP plugins without it enabling the low latency DSP monitoring Mode and being unable to use native plugins after one DSP plugin in the chain. This would obviously add major latency, but it would be ok for mixing (like it was before with the DSP mixer).
This would enable us to still utilize the DSP on our cards for supported plugins, and it would also help break the "single core chain" prohibiting long processing chains on older multicore processors (like the ones on 2019 Mac Pros even, and especially the older MP's) that now give CPU errors even though overal multicore CPU power would be available.

OR Because in Hybrid mode,,,, you can run (as you say) "have a track be able to use AAX DSP plugins without it enabling the low latency DSP monitoring Mode and being unable to use native plugins after one DSP plugin in the chain." ------by simply putting track in "DSP safe mode" and run that track in native with any mix of DSP capable and native only plugins in any order ???

Re: Hybrid Mixer and HDX - need a separate "mixing" high-latency DSP mode for tracks
I abandoned hybrid mixing. When I track with plugins it’s is usually a combo of native and dsp. It’s difficult to do that in hybrid mode and I found the delay compensation to be a few samples off. Other than the advantage of higher track/voice counts at the higher sample rates, there was no real advantage for me. I prefer tracking the way we have always done it and the flexibility plus ultra low latency it provides.
I’m planning on upgrading to hdx2 maybe hdx3 by the end of the year. That with my Uad octo card and native power of my current system is really more than enough for me. Maybe adding a M1 Mac mini for the acustica stuff. Ej |
