Um not sure were my body got the name, maybe from the thing. "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it"! I'm hopelessly nieve! Here again I recall an old but true saying. I assume this is why retail outlets who market Avids products in their catalogs state "Call" rather than state the prices. I guess it's really true, "You get what you pay for". ametuer equipment! You see, I'm just a guy who loves music and, although I've made home recording my hobby, It has turned in to an expensive obsession! I learned by your very informative post that I might as well throw in the towell on ever being able to play with the big boys as for as the cost of the pro classed equipment is concerned! I can only hope that the higher priced hardware, (and software) is less prone to the frequent problems one sees much of here on the duc. That was more useful and informative than any other post I've come across on the duc as far as defining the difference in pro vs. Did you take it from the character in John Carpenter's "The Thing"? Now to my comment on your post. But starting at 10,000 is a big commitment. There is a lot to explain there as well so I won't get into that. But to get your foot in the door with this you have to buy the starter packages they offer, one Pcie card (which I forgot to mention is full length) the full HD software, and your choice of one of the 5 HD interfaces. You get a much higher track and plugin count at high sample rates with no noticable latency, very powerful. These cards handle the high speed in and out transfer for no noticable latency like the HD Native card, but they also handle the amount of tracks you have in your session, and also handle plugin DSP processing, so there is no power taken from your computers processor. This is the big daddy, you get one Pcie card (expandable with additional Pcie cards) you also get the full Pro Tools HD software no additional software needed, these cards require the same Avid HD interfaces as the HD Native card, and is not compatible with USB or FireWire interfaces. This Pcie card CAN connect to Avid's HD interfaces but the card is NOT compatible with USB or FireWire interfaces.įinally there is Pro Tools HDX. But the amount of tracks and plugins you use are dependant on the host computers processing power. The Pcie card handles all the in and out traffic with your computer at very high speeds so there is no noticeable latency. Next is Pro Tools HD Native, starting price is 3500 for the Pcie card and the full version of Pro Tools HD, no extra software needed. can NOT use it with Avid's HD line of interfaces You can also use it with any 3rd party interface like focusrite, presonus, apogee etc. You can use this with Avid's mbox USB or FireWire interfaces. First is pro tools the software, sells for 600, does not have full function unless you buy the add on software which is another 2000. Ok here is a real answer that will help you out. I'm surprised they didn't tell you that you should use what they have because it should be sufficient for everyone. advise me what is the difference between these 3 versionsīoy nobody really reads posts when they come on here, it's amazing you said 3 versions and they only told you about 2 of them. I may sound noob, but Before I buy Pro Tools pls.
