Moving onto track count and I/O, you need to separate the maximum number of I/O and the maximum number of tracks, whether it is Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools vanilla. So in the context of current Pro Tools systems the maximum number of tracks, is effectively the maximum voice count but the voices are automatically allocated now rather than manually back in the 'good old days'.
So in the days of Pro Tools 2.5 etc where the voice count was 4, we could have 8 tracks but we had to allocate the voices across the tracks so that the correct 4 would play when required. I remember the early days of Pro Tools we would have 4, 8 or 16 voices, I could have more tracks but the key thing is the voice count was the maximum number of tracks that would play sound at any one time. The reference you make to voice count is a good one because the track count and voice count aren't always the same. If you don't know the answer and cannot make sense of the information out there then it is a valid question. Firstly there are no such thing as silly or ridiculous question. Sorry if my questions seem ridiculous, but I'm really confused and don't have a ton of money to spend, so I really want to "zero in" on the exact hardware I would need to double my voice count. Is it possible to just buy something like the Focusrite RedNet 5 and hook the Port 2 of the Native Thunderbolt box into the RedNet 5 and double my voice count?.If I buy an HDX card, can I still have the native system working in tandem with the HDX?.If I buy an HDX card, (just the card), would that double my track count?.Is it possible to double voice count still using an HD native system? Or do I need to go to HDX for that?.I am not sure what I would need to buy to do this. I am having a very difficult time finding out exactly how the HDX systems work and I was wondering if you could help me? I have an HD Native Thunderbolt and HD Omni package and I need double the track count (double the voices). Community member Christopher Doucet has been in touch using the Contact Us page on the site to ask if we can explain the differences between Pro Tools HD Native and Pro Tools HDX, specifically the track and I/O count for each system.
