In a luxury room with a digi003, and 7K to spend..
...I think I know the answer to this, but maybe I just need a "push over the cliff" as Spinal Tap says.

Mixing TV; mostly documentary/reality stuff and sometimes drama

Have got the basics such as

5.1 Genelec monitors, Avid artist ctrl, SPL monitor controller, izotope RX, waves restoration/WLM, massey, etc

A room built by sweden´s leading acoustic consultant

Voice booth, a rode nt2a and a summit audio preamp.

And a digi003...

How much will buying a HD Native w Omni improve my work?

7K as in dollars.

Do you have CPTK? How big are your sessions? What kind of computer?
If you need high track counts, low latency ect. and have at least an 8-core, could be a good move. Otherwise you will gain very little in performance, assuming you have CPTK.
I also agree that a DNS would be a very wise investment.

Agree with Brandon.
DNS would be number one.
I won't mix without one.

Ok, interesting, suprised by your answers!! I did expect advices concerning soundcards. So a DNS One makes more difference than switching beteween an digi003 and a HD Native?

I have zero experience of DNS one. I use waves and Izotope, letting go of a lot of cloth noise but taming noise floors and clicks and pops.

IMO going native would be a huge waste. I had a similar setup (woodcrest with a 002), the converter upgrade was nice, so was the lower latency- but unless you're doing a lot of tracking, what a colossal waste of $. +1 DNS!

I vote for getting grown-up Pro Tools (trim automation!) and more faders. But them I've never used DNS...

There was a sort of natural reverb when firing at the Behringer and it sounded sweet to my ears.

Get just teh Protools native software and Ceadr DNS.
Best of both worlds.
I think the PT'S hd native software can be had for $850
