by Major on October 20th, 2010 in Keyboard Shortcuts

After some fact-finding HD|Native has the following features:

- Ships November 4th

- 64 Bit floating point engine

- Low latency monitoring(under 1.6ms) WITHOUT Plugins only

- Up to 64 channels of I/O

- Full feature set of HD software (delay comp, advanced automation, etc.)

- Unofficial comparison in power is HD|Native on a New MacPro compares to an HD5 TDM System!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am excited about HD|Native.  For $6k + a MacPro you can get an HD system that is suitable for high end ITB mixing.  Sign me up!
