Introduction
By adding Digidesign cards to your Pro Tools
system, you can increase track count, add to the
amount of possible plug-in and mixer process-
ing, increase SampleCell voice capacity, and
connect additional audio interfaces.
Some computers have as many as six PCI slots
and may provide enough slots for your
Pro Tools system. Other computers have as few
as three slots and therefore may require an ex-
pansion chassis.
Adding Cards to Your System
Expanding a Pro Tools 24 MIX
System
You can add any of the following Digidesign
cards to expand a Pro Tools 24 MIX or MIXplus
system:
• MIX Core, expands DSP mixer resources, and
provides up to 16 channels of I/O
• MIX Farm, expands plug-in and DSP mixer re-
sources, and provides up to 16 channels of I/O
• MIX I/O, provides up to 16 channels of I/O
• d24, expands DSP mixer resources, and pro-
vides up to 16 channels of I/O
• DSP Farm, expands plug-in and DSP mixer re-
sources, and provides up to eight channels of
I/O
Whether installing in a computer or an expan-
sion chassis, the basic order of card installation
is the same. Cards should always be grouped ac-
cording to type, and each type should be in-
stalled in the following order:
1
MIX Core card, primary
2
MIX Core cards, additional
3
MIX Farm cards
4
d24 cards
5
MIX I/O cards
6
DSP Farm cards
7
SampleCell cards
