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 Desktop Chassis, built in partnership with Sonnet. The chassis can house a single HDX PCIe 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's a reason that Pro Tools is the standard in most professional studio environments, and with Pro Tools | HDX there's 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)

More Headroom—Less Headaches

Pro Tools | HDX uses floating-point calculations for plug-in processing and mixing, enabling you to achieve the best sound quality possible, with the least effort.

• 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

Pro Tools|HDX tightly integrates with Pro Tools HD software and your Mac or PC, giving you optimized performance from creation to completion.
• 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
• Work faster with pro-level tools, including Clip Gain, advanced audio editing and automation, surround sound and more
• Accelerate your recording, editing and mixing with Avid Pro Mixing consoles, which offer unprecedented hands-on control
