AVID PRO TOOLS 11

POWERHOUSE UPGRADE

Pro Tools has long been a mainstay of the recording industry—but now Avid Pro Tools 11 offers up thrilling new prospects for users. There are countless minor workflow improvements in this latest version that streamline many routine tasks such as auditioning plug-ins and configuring sends. But the big upgrade is Pro Tools 11’s 64-bit architecture, which allows the program to better utilize system resources so it can host more plug-ins, handle more tracks, and tackle more intense projects than ever before. Add to that cool new functions such as faster-than-real-time bounce, a powerful HD video engine and enhanced metering, and Pro Tools users everywhere have plenty to get excited about.
