AVID PRO TOOLS 9

Music for the masses

FOR: At last, everyone. Pro Tools 9 is not only chock-full of improvements, it also marks a massive departure in strategy for Avid. For the first time one does not have to use an Avid interface to run Pro Tools—unlocking the world of Pro Tools to virtually every kind of recording enthusiast. Armed with just an iLok you can move from studio to studio, machine to machine, and can even open and mix a session without an external audio interface. Demands for ADC (automatic delay compensation) have topped the Pro Tools forums for some time, and this release satisfies with flying colors.

NOT FOR: Analog revivalists.
