After a long, glorious life, the platform has finally matured into an aging system in need of retirement. AVID released the amazing HD Native system two years ago and, while this platform is adequate for most users (its 32-bit floating point processing provides higher quality audio processing than HD Accel), it lacks the power and speed required by some high-end Pro Tools users. For them, there’s HDX. Pro Tools|HDX was officially launched at last October’s AES show and it represents a major step forward as well as a major change to the Pro Tools platform. It’s interesting to note that Pro Tools|Mix had only been in the marketplace for four years before HD was released, but HD has had a decade-long life without being updated. So yes, it’s time to move into the next generation of Pro Tools performance."
