At the 125th AES Convention in San Francisco, Digidesign introduced Pro Tools Version 8 for Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. Pro Tools has been completely updated with a new user interface, dozens of new bundled plug-ins (including five new virtual instruments and 20 effects), fully-integrated MIDI and score editors and expanded editing features. The user interface offers a more modern-looking color palette and higher-contrast text and graphics, yet the key functions that users rely on are still right where they should be, while enhancements—such as dockable Editor windows and a configurable Edit window toolbar—are designed to provide easier navigation.
Pro Tools 8 software will be available in late 2008 for Windows Vista (32-bit Business or Ultimate), Windows XP- and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)-based Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. For more information, visit Digidesign’s Website.
