Hardware Features:

Get dedicated DSP

Computers today are more powerful than ever. And many can be used natively to create big, great-sounding mixes. But they don’t have the power to track large-scale ensembles. Or handle mixes with large volumes of plugins. With HDX, you get dedicated DSP power to run Pro Tools and your plugins, plus host power too. Each card can also handle 256 voices—that’s 4x more than HD Accel. And more than what your computer can probably handle, freeing you from technical worries, so you can be more creative.

Go bigger

Got an old TDM system? Get up to 5x more power per HDX card than Pro Tools | HD Accel so you can do more with less expense. Create huge sessions with up to 768 audio and 512 instrument tracks. Double your ins and outs with up to 64 channels of I/O per card—or up to 192 I/O channels with three cards. And handle large plugin-heavy mixes easily with 4x more Automatic Delay Compensation.

Scale up your power

Need more tracks and inputs? Take on the most demanding sessions by simply adding an extra HDX card or two to your computer and go from 256 audio tracks up to a massive 768 with three cards. You can also add more inputs and outputs to your setup as your needs or business grows—up to 192 channels.

Work the way you want

Pro Tools | HDX is completely modular, so you can create the perfect rig for what you do. Connect your choice of Avid and/or third-party analog and digital audio interfaces. Work on a Mac or PC. Mix on your full system or on the go with just a laptop. Accelerate mixing by adding a control surface. Integrate into broadcast, post-production, and live sound environments with MADI. And sync your entire studio together as one with included Satellite technology to get the best sound possible.
