The big question, of course, is whether or not HDX represents significant enough progress to keep existing users grazing in the Avid fold. Still, as companies like Apple have proved time and again, sometimes it's necessary to break with the past - no matter the potential inconvenience for existing users - in order to make significant progress. And there's no mention of the older blue/silver interfaces in the HDX Install Guide, which is perhaps unsurprising since, as mentioned last month, Avid have already announced that Pro Tools 10 will be the last "feature release” to support HD-era hardware. For example, where the original 192 I/O interfaces launched with HD at least offered 'Legacy Peripheral' ports, enabling Mix-era interfaces to be initially incorporated into the newer system, the latest HD I/O interfaces, launched by Avid in 2010, do not have such a provision. Given that there are so many HD users, one might have expected Avid to ensure a somewhat favonian transition to the newer platform, but this hasn't quite been the case. What's particularly noteworthy about the 10-year figure is that Pro Tools itself has only existed for about 20 years so HD represents half of the product's lifespan so far. Whereas Pro Tools Mix, the predecessor to HD, had been available for a mere four years before HD was launched, HD has now been on the shelves for about 10 years and presumably has a considerably larger user base as a consequence. It's perhaps interesting to consider that Avid - née Digidesign - have never before had to conduct a Pro Tools transition on the scale of HD to HDX. ![]() Pro Tools HDX, the long-anticipated successor to Pro Tools HD, was launched at last October's AES show and represents both a major change and a major step forward for the Pro Tools platform. ![]() When Avid were taxed to devise a name for the company's new Pro Tools DSP hardware, they did what any self-respecting company does these days: added an X.
