This workflow was first made public with the release of Pro Tools Carbon and it works identically in HDX, though with potentially far more DSP available than in a Carbon system. Of course the most visible aspect of the Hybrid Engine is the ability to toggle DSP Mode on and off on any track, using the new green button, to enable low latency monitoring for these toggled tracks while it is required. Offload processing of individual tracks to DSP with a single button For post houses, which are running 3 card systems, the possibility now exists to break up those 3 card systems into individual 1 card systems and still run the same sessions on each system. The most demanding sessions, which used to require 3 card systems can now be run more comfortably on a single card system unless the additional IO capabilities of a multi card HDX system are necessary for you. This is largely down the the way having 2048 voices available extends the capabilities of a single card HDX system. The change the Hybrid Engine represents to HDX systems is so profound that Avid described it as almost a reimagining of the product. These changes represent an enormous improvement in HDX performance as reported by Jamey Scott in his recent article Pro Tools HDX Hybrid Engine - Is It Really A Game Changer?
Using the Hybrid Engine uses fewer voices as there is less “round tripping” between the DSP and native domains, with its associated waste of voices and increase in latency. This is counter-intuitive as by moving the load from dedicated DSP to the native CPU the opposite might be expected but for reasons which can only be described as a little mysterious, this is not the case. CPU load is reduced, system delay is reduced so the system feels “snappier”, control surfaces feel more responsive and sessions feel faster. The Hybrid Engine maximises Pro Tools performance. The Pro Tools Hybrid Engine allows parts of the mixer, and therefore the audio paths and plugin processing, to exist in either DSP or Native and to be switched seamlessly between the two as and when the need arises. While it has always been possible to incorporate native processing into a DSP system, doing so was costly in terms of the voices used getting in and out of the DSP Pro Tools mixer used in an HDX system and the additional latency incurred. In previous iterations of Pro Tools, native and DSP processing were, to a significant degree, mutually exclusive. The HDX user base, many of whom have been concerned that their significant investment in HDX was nearing the end of its relevance, have just seen their hardware totally rejuvenated. It’s hard to overstate the significance of the Hybrid Engine For HDX users, bringing as it does a huge increase in voices and performance gains which are hard to believe.
The Hybrid Engine has been covered extensively by us since we saw its first incarnation with Pro Tools Carbon and Francois Quereuil shared the news that it was coming to HDX in our interview with him. Unusually the first, and biggest feature of this release we already know a great deal about. HDX Hybrid Engine - Better Performance and near zero-latency recording with hybrid DSP and native processing If you’re in a hurry, here’s what’s new in a nutshell: While, because of the early announcements surrounding the HDX Hybrid Engine, there is an unusual amount about this release we already know, there are more surprises in this huge release which will please HDX, Native, Ultimate and Standard users alike.
