Pro Tools 10 & Pro Tools|HDX
A Gigantic Leap in Sound and Speed
Pro Tools software
Record, edit, and mix high-quality music and audio at the speed of your
creativity—on a Mac or PC—using the industry-standard platform. With four
flavors to choose from, there’s an ideal Pro Tools solution for you, whether
you’re a beginner, a hardcore pro, or somewhere in between.

Avid has announced the
all-new
Pro
Tools|HDX digital audio workstation and
Pro Tools 10
software.
The new HDX systems delivers up to 5x more DSP per card, over a thousand dB
of additional headroom, and up to 4x the track counts and 2x the I/O compared
to its Pro Tools|HD Accel predecessor. And as customers’ needs grow, the
system can be scaled to increase track counts, power, and I/O, using up to
three Pro Tools|HDX cards and multiple Pro Tools HD Series interfaces.
With this addition to the Pro Tools|HD family, there are now two powerful
system choices. Customers can choose the
Pro Tools|HD
Native system if they need the advanced workflows and sound
quality of Pro Tools HD, and want to leverage their host computer to get the
best performance and lowest latency. Or customers can choose the new flagship
DSP-accelerated
Pro
Tools|HDX
system if they require consistent peak performance and near-zero latency to
handle extremely large and complex productions.

Pro Tools HD 10 software—included
The Pro Tools 10 software adds new features to the world’s leading digital
audio workstation, delivering on top requests from both audio post and music
professionals. With it, Avid introduces several new tools and timesaving
workflows, such as the top-requested Clip Gain, which separates pre-mix levels
from Pro Tools software’s renowned mixing automation, greatly speeding up and
improving the workflow between sound editors and mixers. Customers will also
be able to achieve higher sound quality and better performance than ever,
whether they’re recording, composing, editing, mixing, or playing back their
sessions.Record and play back up to 256 audio tracks per card (or play back up
to 768 tracks with three cards) to support the most massive mixes.
-
Get great recording and playback responsiveness with the extended disk
cache, which can load entire sessions into RAM, and ensures maximum track
counts from networked-attached storage, such as Avid Unity ISIS, and slower
local drives.

option.
