The built-in headphone amp is the same as found on the OMNI interface, but it seems you can’t use it to monitor anything unless you have at least one HD I/O interface connected. It has an external power supply, but this is apparently only required when using the device with a Thunderbolt cable longer than 6ft – copper Thunderbolt cables shorter than this are capable of powering the unit over the cable.

On the plus side, Avid do claim excellent latency performance, down to 1.7ms 96kHz sampling rate with a 64 sample buffer, and although it doesn’t look like it, the desktop device is rack-mountable using screws found on the underside. The days of having to remortgage your house to obtain top-notch audio production equipment are over, but nobody seems to have informed Avid that the word ‘Pro’ is not necessarily synonymous with the word ‘exorbitant’.

The opportunity was there for them to come up with a truly affordable solution that harnesses the power of the current crop of Thunderbolt-enabled computers without the need for the kind of expensive ancillary hardware that puts the full power of the excellent ProTools software firmly out of most people’s reach, thereby fostering an unwelcome atmosphere of elitism. VAT)įor the moment at least, Avid are not offering the unit on its own to accommodate the needs of users who already own a compatible hardware interface.Īlthough I’m always excited about new Pro Tools gear, I can’t help feeling that Avid have dropped the ball with this, especially where the limited purchasing options are concerned. This means that the price of the cheapest available bundle, consisting of Thunderbolt interface, Pro Tools 10 software and compatible HD OMNI audio interface, comes out at a whopping $4999USD (around £3300GBP). As it is, you can only buy them as part of a bundle – the new ‘interfaces’ do not have any audio in or out connections themselves, they’re just bridging devices, a means of utilising the speed of the data throughput of the Thunderbolt port on current computers, in preference to latency-prone USB and FireWire ports. Good to purge the routine sometimes.Avid, creators of the legendary Pro Tools audio recording, editing and mixing system, last week furthered their quest to eliminate the inherent latency of typical USB and FireWire audio interfaces by announcing a pair of new Pro Tools HD Native interfaces that take advantage of the ultra high-speed Thunderbolt connection standard found on the current crop of computers.ĭon’t get too excited though, because even if you were able to purchase one of the new Thunderbolt interfaces, which come in either desktop box or PCIe core card format, as a single item, you’d still need to purchase an additional Pro Tools HD I/O audio interface to hook it up to. So far, glad I did the upgrade! I realize how much junk I need to delete off these hard drives. I should add, I have never had problems with excessive crashes with Pro Tools. And am rocking without problem now for several days on 11.11.5. So I ripped out the cloned drive and was able to boot back to 10.9.5.

(Except Soundflower, upgraded that later, working again.)Īll was well - except my external array holding my cloned drive (and audio and session drives) would not mount - and needed a firmware upgrade that couldn't be installed with 10.11.5. 30 mins later, El Capitan and Mbox Pro working! Also, PT 12.5 and other audio apps doing fine.
So I cloned the OS drive to be reboot-able/restorable if anything was majorly messed up.ĭid the upgrade to PT 12.5 first on OS 10.9.5. And it's only currently approved to OS 10.11.3. That was the first time I thought by not upgrading OS I might miss out on functionality.

And saw new EUCON drivers are only supported from like OS 10.10.4 onwards. Was on OS 10.9.5 with PT 12.4 (latest version of). Yes, I did the whole shebang with one hiccup.
