Thread Starter | Prism Orpheus vs HD Omni/Native card
This sounds like a good matchup. I did all the reading I could, but I am not sure which one would make the best studio front end. They have similar startup costs, depending if PT HD is a priority. I'm wondering if the Orpheus brings something to do the table more than just being able to connect via firewire. Has anyone used both of these units? Who wins? Preamps Converters Connections |

ok, I dug up some info. The Orpheus really seems to kick ass when it comes to I/O. If I understood the specs correctly the Orpheus is 18x18 while the HD Omni is 8x8. That's a huge difference.

Orpheus isn't PT HD compatible. Omni requires a PT HD Native, HDX or 2nd hand TDM card to work.

Orpheus has not let me down but I don't work in protools. PS the Orpheus headphone outs also have one d/a shared between them. This means you get another stereo out you can use to drive monitors! Posted via the Gearslutz iPhone app |

Other than Track count, what other advantages would PTHD have over PT10? I do not think I will ever record more than 32 audio tracks...EVER!

Input monitoring / Disk Caching / 256 track capability [versus 96 with PT10 native] / 64 I/O on HD Interfaces [versus 32 I/O on Core Audio-ASIO with PT10 native] / Bullet Proof Rock Solid, low latency connection to the chosen HD Interface / VCA grouping / Surround Panning / Sync HD capable / The ability to open the HD licence on a laptop with a 3rd party interface / etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

What would I miss out on the most if my needs were not extensive (32 io is plenty, 96 total tracks is double what I need, don't know what input monitoring is, lol)
