The result is a significant boost to performance. Then, when you need to supplement your CPU or record with near-zero latency, it gives you immediate access to HDX’s onboard DSP. It runs your session on your host computer, taking advantage of its robust computing power. For example, inserting a native plugin after a DSP plugin causes round-tripping between HDX and your host computer that eats into available voices.īy contrast, the Hybrid Engine splits processing between DSP and native mix engines. Also, HDX can be inefficient when using native and DSP plugins on the same track. For users that work with high track counts and plugin-heavy sessions, like big Dolby Atmos mixes, this can be constraining. But 'determinism' also means a hard and fast voice limit that puts a cap on session size. The power of HDX is that it essentially eliminates recording latency-sub-1 ms-and delivers deterministic, reliable performance.

Apart from native plugins, which run on your host computer, your entire Pro Tools session is handled by its 18 DSP cores and two high-performance FPGA chips. Without the Hybrid Engine, HDX does the heavy lifting for mixer functions and DSP tasks. So, you might wonder, since HDX Systems are well known to handle the most demanding sessions in both music and audio post production, why is the Hybrid Engine such a game-changer? And as a current HDX user, why do I need it? Here are a few compelling reasons why.

This intelligent hardware-software integration, which was introduced along with Pro Tools | Carbon, lets you move seamlessly between DSP and native processing at the touch of a button. The Hybrid Engine is now available for HDX Systems.
