Get to know them!

Packing in incredible amounts of power and durability, Avid Pro Tools | HDX cements itself as one of the most powerful DAW systems on the market. You not only get powerful DSP-accelerated plug-in capabilities, but you also get the pro-level features of Pro Tools | Ultimate - features that aren't available to standard Pro Tools users. You get support for state-of-the-art features including extra editing functions, superior delay compensation, expanded video implementation, and nearly limitless connectivity and expandability. And while the standard version of Pro Tools lets you create stereo mixes, Ultimate allows you to mix in everything from mono to 7.1 surround sound. If you want what major recording studios and post-production houses use, step into Pro Tools | HDX.

Pro Tools | Ultimate software - the industry standard DAW

Ask anyone here at Sweetwater, and they'll tell you: when you own a Pro Tools | HD system, you have the most state-of-the-art professional recording system on the planet. In addition to the standard Pro Tools features, you get 384 audio tracks (50% more than previous versions), 7.1 surround sound support, advanced editing functions, superior delay compensation, and expanded video implementation. In addition to that, you get support for advanced features like waveform views, breakpoint automation views, and even more professional-level features. And if you're stepping up from a non-HD Pro Tools system, you'll be able to use the plug-ins you already love and experience incredible sound quality unlike anything you've heard yet.

Avid HDX DSP-acceleration gives you massive processing power

Each Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe card is like having the equivalent of an HD3 or HD4 system on a single card. To put it mildly, that's an unbelievable amount of DSP power for your DAW! What's more, there's a separate FPGA processor for your mix bus, so all of your HDX card's DSP power is dedicated to running plug-ins, leaving your CPU to handle the mixing. Each HDX card gives you 256 voices, a full four times the routing capacity of an Accel card. That means you can freely use Avid's AAX plug-ins without worrying about running out of voices.

Avid Pro Tools | HDX Core PCIe Card Features:

  • Adds incredible DSP power for Avid's AAX plug-in format
  • Packs in more than three times the power of a regular HD Accel system
  • Enables up to 256 voices per card - no more running out of voices!
  • 64 channels of I/O makes it easy to import and export audio simultaneously
  • 32-bit floating-point processing safeguards the quality of your plug-ins and gives you more headroom at the same time
  • Includes Pro Tools | Ultimate software, the industry standard DAW
  • Ships with 12-foot DigiLink Mini cable
