What the AVID interfaces sound bad to you or something? : ) Maybe for mastering only applications or something like that, but otherwise you are defeating the purpose of the 'compensate for input / output delay after record pass' feature. Pro Tools with third party audio interface?ĭon't do that to yourself. Hopefully you do not have say a HDX card. Again, there is nothing specific to Ultimate in your question.

#Avid pro tools audio interface software#

HD software was renamed to Ultimate, but this forum area is about Avid HD and HDX *hardware*.

#Avid pro tools audio interface driver#

Will your specific Pro Tools Ultimate version, macOS version, driver (actually whole software bundle with UAD), be compatible? Luckily UAD provides good driver updates/compatibility. In practice the real complexity with third party interfaces is software compatibility. I told you all (USB, FireWire and Thunderbolt) UAD interfaces work with Pro Tools.

I hope your Mac really has Thunderbolt 3. No guarantee A USB-C port necessarily means Thunderbolt 3.

A USB-C connector might carry USB 2, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 2, Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort. So then you’re not able to tell me yes or no if I’m able to use the Apollo 圆 with pro tools ultimate? Pro tools ultimate replaced HD. Well I couldn’t find a pro tools ultimate section otherwise I would have posted there.

The Apollo 圆 is what I meant actually, it offers the new thunderbolt connection.

USB-C is the newest generation thunderbolt for pc and Mac.

I'm seeing enough stuff here that I think you really will be best served by getting on the phone with a Sweetwater or Vintage King sales rep. if you are running either of that hardware none of these interfaces are compatible, they both require DigiLink interfaces. Do you specifically want their low(ish) latency Apollo Console monitoring? Do you understand the high-buffer requirements for running UAD plugins in a DAW?Īnd you posted in the HDX and HD Native forum section. And UAD vs other interfaces is often a question about whether you want to enter, and pay for, their plugin ecosystem. You asked about the UAD Apollo 8, but that is a Thunderbolt 2 Interface, the UAD Apollo x8 is the Thunderbolt 3 interface (that uses a USB-C connector). we have no idea what you need, and there are many many choices from UAD, Apollo, MOTU, Focusrite, Presonus, and many others.Įvery UAD Thunderbolt, Firewire and USB interface sure works with Pro Tools. Talk with a sales rep about your exact IO needs and they can walk you through the options. Go to any dealer, Sweetwater, Vintage King, etc. But whether you need Thunderbolt (hopefully lower latency) or USB-2/-3 whatever is something for you to sort out with your overall needs and budget.Īvid is not the place to look. I'm guessing you really mean 'Thunderbolt' not 'USB-C'. Unless you get into the weeds of specific IO needs like say how many IO are available to support surround sounds use with Ultimate. And nothing here is specific to Ultimate vs Standard. Pro Tools software should be compatible with any Core Audio interface.

I didn’t want to have to get the HD native+omni version and have a separate outboard interface sitting on my desk. I like that it has usb c connectivity built in. Is the universal audio Apollo 8 rack compatible with pro tools ultimate? What other 3rd party interfaces are compatible that offer usb c connectivity? I couldn’t find any 3rd party interfaces listed on Avid’s website on the page that shows approved audio interfaces for pro tools ultimate.
