#AVID PRO TOOLS HDX HD OMNI PRO#
Likewise, it provides an impressive variety of analogue and digital socketry for conveying your outputs to the outside world, but only ever presents a maximum of 10 independent outputs to Pro Tools, and that's counting the dedicated headphone output. With the right combination of analogue, optical and electrical digital cables you could plumb in at least 20 different mono input sources simultaneously - but no matter what combination you pick, the Omni is not capable of delivering more than eight channels of audio to your computer. This is not due to a shortage of physical connectors. It is certainly true that in an HD rig with an Omni as your only interface you won't get large numbers of inputs and outputs. In fact, much of the Omni's functionality only comes into its own in the context of a larger HD rig, and perhaps in a post‑production or media composition environment. As you delve deeper into the Omni, it becomes apparent that it is a long way from being the glorified 003 Rack I've described above. Sneak previews are one thing, however, and hands‑on use of a product is quite another.
As the first HD interface to incorporate mic and instrument preamps, a headphone output and built‑in monitor control, it sounded like a convenient one‑box solution which, though in no sense a budget product, would work out substantially more affordable than previous HD‑based options for those who don't need large numbers of inputs or outputs. Our first glimpse of the HD Omni left us with the impression that it was an interface targeted squarely at those who needed a small, yet high‑quality system for mixing, composing and occasional overdubs. The third, meanwhile, represents a radical departure from any previous product in the HD range, and will be of particular interest to SOS readers.
The second brings the MADI digital format into the Pro Tools world at last, providing up to 64 channels of digital I/O. One of the new interfaces, the HD I/O (see box) obviously supersedes the previous interfaces, offering similar functionality but with improved sound quality. Not quite the new Watergate, but big news in our field, especially given that the front ends for the HD range had remained largely unchanged since its launch back in 2002.
#AVID PRO TOOLS HDX HD OMNI CRACK#
Avid's new interface might look like the baby of the HD range, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.Ī couple of months back, SOS's crack squad of newshounds was shown into a darkened room at Avid HQ for a sneak preview of three new audio interfaces.
