Overview

Create music with one of the fastest, and most powerful DAWs in the industry.

Bring the power of HDX to your studio rack with the Avid Pro Tools | HDX Thunderbolt 3 Rackmount Chassis, built in partnership with Sonnet. The 1U rack-mountable chassis can house a single HDX card, as well as a Mac mini, providing portability and easy connection to today’s Thunderbolt 3-equipped computers.

Avid Pro Tools | HDX takes the performance and the power of the industry leading Pro Tools | HD system and adds even more power, higher audio quality and easier workflows for recording, editing, and mixing some of the most demanding productions. With Pro Tools | HDX, you get more tracks, more headroom, and up to 5x more dedicated DSP power to tackle massive post-production projects with the confidence that comes with guaranteed performance. There' a reason that Pro Tools is the standard in most professional studio environments, and with Pro Tools | HDX there' even more.

Mix Bigger, Better Projects

With Pro Tools | HDX, you get up to 5x more power per card than Pro Tools|HD Accel, so you can focus on your mix”not your mixer”and do much more with less.

- Double your ins and outs with up to 64 channels of I/O per card (up to 192 total)

- Let your mixes breathe with increased headroom, and eliminate clipping and obsessive gain staging
- Improve workflow and sonic parity between DSP-accelerated and native-based Pro Tools systems with the new AAX plug-in platform

The Fastest Workflows—Yours

- Get a highly responsive feel”even in your most complex projects”with RAM-cached record/playback and real-time fades
- Keep the channel routing in complex sessions in check easily with bus interrogation
