Another change for version 7 of Pro Tools HD is that the application now requires an iLok authorisation instead of a serial number, regardless of the Digidesign hardware configuration you're running. Version 7 is the first paid upgrade of the Pro Tools software you can actually buy and download on-line. The question is, can Pro Tools really become the only audio and MIDI workstation you'll ever need, as Digidesign are hoping? Time For An Upgrade In many ways, Pro Tools 7 is the most important release of the Pro Tools software to date. During this time Digidesign have also released a new Icon family of control surfaces (which we'll review in SOS soon), aiming to give people an integrated alternative to traditional mixing consoles, and Venue, a live mixing console based on Pro Tools technology. These added key features such as automatic delay compensaton, Track Punch, input monitor buttons, 23.976 frame rate support, MIDI step input, improved RTAS instrument support, enhanced tempo manipulation and MIDI functionality, AFL/PFL solo, better plug-in organisation, and the new EQ III plug-in. Pro Tools 7 arrives a whole three years after version 6, but Digidesign have released many significant upgrades in the interim. Since the release of Pro Tools 5, however, the software element has become more important and is arguably now the core of the system, with Pro Tools ' audio recording, editing and mixing tools complemented by comprehensive sequencing functionality. Will this release keep Digidesign on top?ĭigidesign's Pro Tools started out mainly as a hardware platform, with most users opting for alternative host software.
With new MIDI sequencing functionality among many other features, Pro Tools 7 is intended to be the ultimate audio and MIDI workstation.
