Originally posted by DJ RANN I agree that there are better converters out there and I loathe the fact the PTHD is a closed system but you're talking nonesense about the sample rate and bit depth issues. We have 4 fully expanded PTHD rigs (6 cards+) in each studio room and run multiple sample rates between rooms and machines all day long without issues. In fact we've even worked with projects where the sample rates are different at different points in the cues. Yes, you can get the pyramix mastering bundle, but pTHD vastly outstrips Pyramix in terms of plugins, not to mention routing and overall functionality. Down to raw sonic quality, I prefer pyramix but pyramix is just as much geared towards mixing and tracking as protools is. Frankly, for just two tracks (not including routing) (which the majority of mastering is), you'd be a fool to buy either system for that function alone as you're paying so much extra with both of them (both being around the same costs) just for their track counts and routing. You can both make them do the same thing...I think you've been reading to much on GS

If these types of problems don't exist anymore in Pro Tools HD then I'll retract what I previously said.

I can't really comment about Pyramix vs Pro Tools HD since I have never worked with Pyramix before. But I'm interested in trying it out someday. But ofcourse I won't buy Pyramix for those functions alone. I'm not even sure if I should get it or not, I'll have to work with it first

But there are alot of things I'm buying this year, so I probably wouldn't buy Pyramix anyway if I really dig it. Unless it's something really special.
