Intuitive Editing Pro Tools provides many powerful editing tools that no other recording system offers. Far beyond the ability to nondestructively cut, copy and paste audio, Pro Tools offers a host of single-touch edit keys and other features that allow you to execute, organize and view your edits easily and effectively.

Pro Tools software arms you with all of the tools you need to take projects through every stage of the audio production process. From manipulating audio waveforms to editing MIDI note and automation data, everything you need to compose, record, edit, and mix audio/MIDI compositions with the utmost precision is at your fingertips.
Effortless Recording With Pro Tools, you can adapt your recording style to the kind of work you’re doing. Use loop recording to capture several versions of a solo. Set an automatic punch-in/punch-out range to effortlessly fix a passage. Record entire takes, put each on a separate playlist, then recall any of them instantly. The nondestructive nature of audio processing with Pro Tools allows for unprecedented freedom when capturing your ideas.
With innovative tools such as Beat Detective™ (which enables you to automatically correct timing on entire tracks), you save countless hours of editing time. Additionally, all automation in Pro Tools can be adjusted as easily and extensively as audio.
Integrated MIDI Sequencing Recording, editing and mixing MIDI data in Pro Tools is accomplished in much the same way as with audio material. MIDI events can be viewed and edited alongside audio waveforms at sample-level resolution without having to shuffle multiple windows. Beyond traditional MIDI sequencing capabilities, the MIDI features in Pro Tools software allow you to expand your ideas to the fullest. Use Groove Quantize to get the right feel for bass and drum tracks. Take advantage of the timing accuracy afforded by MIDI Time Stamping support to ensure your performances play back exactly the way you recorded them. And, with the Restore Performance feature, you can experiment with the assurance of always being able to return to your original take.
Comprehensive Surround Mixing
The Pro Tools software interface is the ultimate customizable digital mixer. Choose the bit depth and sample rate you’d like to work with — up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Easily adding tracks, reconfiguring and routing inputs to any destination, and copying and moving inserts can be accomplished at any stage in the mixing process. With its flexible signal routing architecture, creating and saving custom I/O and mixer setups to use as session templates substantially speeds up your work.
The superior surround mixing environment in Pro Tools allows you to mix in every popular multi-channel format — including LCR, Quad, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1. And, with the ability to output to several formats at the same time, you can easily create stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 mixes simultaneously.
Superior Media Management
Tools|HD Accel
The superb file management functionality in Pro Tools software keeps your projects neatly organized regardless of their size or complexity. View, search, audition, and import files with ease utilizing the powerful DigiBase™Pro utility. Create custom catalogs that reference files wherever they’re stored, including offline media. Performing and managing processing tasks such as fade creation and file copying in the background enables you to continue working without interruption.
| Pro
The automation in Pro Tools is unparalleled in the industry — at any price. Since everything in the Pro Tools mixing environment is automatable, you have full dynamic control and absolute recall of all volume, mute and panning for tracks, sends and plug-in parameters. Of course, all automation data can be graphically edited against the audio waveform or MIDI note display, so you can see exactly where to place your moves.

Pro Tools would not have grown to become the industry standard digital audio workstation without support from our Development Partners. With the wealth of plug-ins and options available for Pro Tools, you have everything you need to sculpt your own sonic signature.
Real-Time Plug-Ins Pro Tools offers three real-time plug-in formats at all supported sample rates: TDM, RTAS™ and HTDM.™ While TDM plug-ins utilize dedicated DSP hardware, RTAS and HTDM plug-ins take advantage of the native power of your computer to process or generate audio. TDM and RTAS plug-ins offer traditional real-time signal processing functionality, while HTDM plug-ins integrate entire host-based synthesis and sampling applications as plug-ins within the Pro Tools environment. All real-time plug-in parameters may be manipulated and automated via the Pro Tools UI or using Digidesign control surfaces.

C R E AT I O N
File-Based Plug-Ins Audio files at all supported sample rates may also be processed independently using AudioSuite™ plug-ins, allowing you to conserve DSP power by making permanent changes to the files. The ability to batch process and export large numbers of audio files makes AudioSuite plug-ins ideal for sound design and multimedia authoring tasks. AudioSuite plug-ins are also useful for processes where there is no real-time benefit, such as normalization or phase inversion.
Creative Revolution The growing number of sound generation, synthesis, sampling and other options for creativity bring more possibilities than ever to the Pro Tools platform. With a constantly expanding suite of products from industry leaders, the collection of potent tools for composition and creation transforms Pro Tools into the most powerful instrument in the studio. Pro Tools software also offers seamless integration with several diverse applications designed by our Development Partners, streamlining your workflow. Additionally, with support for ReWire 2 technology, 24-bit audio signals from your favorite compatible software synthesizers, samplers, and other host-based instruments can be directly routed into Pro Tools for further mixing and processing possibilities. For more information regarding compatible plug-ins for Pro Tools|HD, visit our plug-in finder at www.digidesign.com/plugins, as well as www.digidesign.com/developer.
