From Our Research Team:

Plenty of Power - Plenty of Expandability!

Digidesign is now offering two versions of its award-winning, professional Pro Tools|HD digital audio production systems. By continuing to provide the existing PCI version and releasing a PCI Express (PCIe) version, Digidesign is ensuring continued compatibility of its Pro Tools|HD systems with a wide range of PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe-equipped computers. Existing Pro Tools|HD core systems are designed to work in PCI and PCI-X slots only and are not compatible with PCIe technology.

Digidesign HD| 1 Core:
Pro Tools|HD 1 features the HD Core card, supporting up to 32 channels of I/O* and guaranteed support for up to 96 simultaneous audio tracks with no stress on the computer. The HD Core card houses a host of powerful DSPs that provide the dedicated mixing and processing horsepower audio professionals have come to expect from Pro Tools. Expanding the system's dedicated processing power and I/O capacity is as easy as adding additional HD Accel cards.

  • HD Core Card

Sweetwater Advice

Kenny Bergle
I get more DSP power for plug-ins and virtual instruments from my HD1 system than from a Mix3 system! Is it worth the $$ vs. native systems, like MOTU or Digi 002? Only if your music is good!
Brian Loney
Pro Tools HD is the only system I've owned that allows me to use my outboard equipment with my computer in real time. It is the most powerful and flexible studio solution I've ever used!
