Avid Technologies Pro Tools HD Native PCIe Card and HD OMNI Interface Bundle (Exchange)

Description

The Pro Tools 10 HD Native PCIe Card and HD OMNI Interface Bundle from Avid is a music and post-production core system that allows the professional to create complex, high-quality audio productions, using the full capabilities of Pro Tools HD software in a lower-cost, native solution. With this Pro Tools HD Native system, a single PCIe card handles the mixing and routing duties, with the rest of the DSP processing handled by the computer.

Pro Tools software has been the industry-standard digital audio production platform for years. Pro Tools HD 10 software tightly integrates the HD Native hardware and computer together as one, delivering performance and reliability, even with large mixes. It includes all the tools, advanced workflows, virtual instruments, and plug-ins needed to compose, record, edit, and mix music and/or sound for picture.

The HD OMNI interface can be used to record instrument and vocal performances, while providing dedicated cue mixes for artists and monitoring their performance through a discrete mix. Overdub and Foley recording capabilities are available for post production, in addition to creating monitor mixes with up to 7.1 channels. 7.1 mixes can be folded down to almost any channel configuration subset required.
