Default Re: Dear Avid, I am an ultimate user but this 32 channel limit!

But when using hardware inserts for mixing 32 I/o is limited.

If you are so blessed to have 32 quality hardware compressors or whatever you can surely afford to get over the 32 limit

That’s foul.

And as a person who DOES have a crapload of outboard, I went ultimate and was trapped with the 32 I/O limit.

But in 2021 I judge with my wallet. My ultimate will be up in a week. I used to be on the inside know but they aren’t innovating or rolling with the times.

Though I love protools. I can’t afford to be fighting when it’s costing me my sanity.

Ultimate does not solve i/o limit, Avid hardware (HDN/HDX) does

I am blessed. If I could connect all the hardware I would need 40. All the gear I have kept for 2 decades of doing this. And money is always an issue, I’m not any millionaire, I’m just a sound guy that loves making and producing music like most of us here.

Also love pro tools but some marketing things are just ...not appropriate. At least rise up the limit to 48.

I have 64 channels. It wasn't really even all that expensive. And I can do full redundant recording to two machines now too. I've spent way more on all the plugins I have than the hardware to get to 64 channels.

What audio interface are you using that gives you 64 channels of analog I/O with hardware inserts for every channel? Even $100,000+ live sound consoles with 100+ inputs don't have hardware inserts for every channel any more.

I agree. I don't think it is really that expensive at all. It gets even cheaper on the used market. With the way prices are here in Australia at the moment, a HD Native card and 64 channels worth of Lynx Aurora are obtainable for less than the price of a new UAD Apollo x16.

This is becoming a challenge for me.
I have transitioned from music recording engineer to film and television engineer and I would still prefer to use protools.

My Dante recording setup;
network switch,
into 2 Focusrite RedNet 5's
2 digilinks
into HD Native
into a Thunderbolt 2 cable
into a thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter.
into a MacBook pro 16" 8 core 64gig. blah ba blah.
all in a 5 space rack plus backpack for computer.
When I could just use one CAT6 with DVS.

I just want to record, virtual soundcheck, and archive. Yes I have used WAVES Tracks Live in the past. Another bonus would be to record video again onto the time line. One conundrum at a time. Right?
I do not need low latency, I have an Avid 16x16 just in case I do music again. I just want to record and archive.

With computers getting faster, I am sure DVS will some day support 128x128.

If I have to buy Avid hardware, sell me something I can use, please.
Or sell us another subscription for higher audio limit.

We need an updated HD Native with a thunderbolt 3 port on it, an LTC input and a Dante primary/ secondary port.
For us production film, television mixers and other tour sound guys.

Please.
kindest of regards,

Eric Slaughter
