If You Had To Start Over.......
I was just wondering..If you HD users had to start over, as of today, would you continue to use HD systems with the cards or would you choose HD 9 with a different interface with fast cpu, a/d convertor, etc... The reason I ask, is because I'm in a sudden position to have to start over..so I was wondering if i should aim high(Mac Pro, HD2 PCIe) or get a native set up(8 core Mac with PT9HD). Thanks!

First, I would take up medicine, or law. Otherwise though, I went with the Native system. I think everyone just has to step back and ask what they personally need to get their work done. You come away watching the Avatar video on the AVID site saying "Yeah, I gotta have HD" but for me, well, I'm not recording symphonies, I'm recording myself. I need a bunch of tracks, great sound, and no hassles. HD Native is perfect for me. For a big studio, probably not, they still have no choice but to buy at least HD3, etc. You have to look at your specific situation and be honest with yourself. It could save you thousands T |

Medicine? Law? F**k that. I wouldn't change what I do for all the tea in China.

Re: If You Had To Start Over.......
I'll take the bait.
I had an 002 with a Mac Pro and was in the middle of mixing a CD for somebody and just couldn't deal with the dropouts with FW and no ADC so I bailed & gave the work to somebody else. I then bought PTHD 2 and an Aurora 16/LT-HD card and have not looked back. Now there's PT9, ADC, a ton of buses...I honestly dunno. I can get by with RTAS verbs & delay on buses for tracking. Having the cards and relatively rawk solid performance is tough to give up. I'm curious how Native will perfom for sure. |

Re: If You Had To Start Over.......
I was thinking of that also..because I have my old G5 with PT 8.0.3 HD on it in front of the studio..I may just spends say..2k on an HD2 PCIx Accel system and roll from there...I just hate that the G5 I have is only a single processor 1.8..

It's not like used dual 2.5 G5s are comanding big bucks these days.....Why not snag a DP G5 and use the cards you alrady own. It's no Mac Pro but the last I checked they were dirt cheap.
