"HD advantage is recording 80 tracks at once if an engineer needs to record an orchestra or man a film score and mix.

If you need to transfer 48 tracks of tape to digital , then HD is the only game in town. If you need to sync 8 old adat or DA88 machines to transfer to digital, HD is the only gig.

For common music making and simple band recording, HD extra power is useless. This can be handled by the Logic, PT LE and Record apps."


I do none of these and still use my HD rig everyday... it paid for itself in two months... i work my system to it's fullest and even reach it's limits on occasion... it makes me money... but again i do none of what you say an HD rig is best at... your statements are one sided, biased and not correct by any means. sounds to me like your are speculating.
Session 8, DA88's, ??? using that as an experience base shows that you might want to do some modern testing before making comments.
