Or handle mixes with large volumes of plug-ins. With Avid Pro Tools HDX Core Card, you get dedicated DSP power to run Pro Tools and your plug-ins, 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 Avid Pro Tools HDX Core Card card than Pro Tools | HD Accel so you can do more with less expense.

Need more tracks and inputs? Take on the most demanding sessions by simply adding an extra Avid Pro Tools HDX Core Card 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.
