Avid begins marketing of Pro Tools 2019

The latest version of the digital audio workstation increases power and performance for all user levels and updates the EUCON protocol.

Avid has started the marketing of Pro Tools 2019. The latest version of the digital audio workstation increases power and performance for all levels of users, from professional music creators and aspiring artists to top-tier audio post-production professionals and engineers, allowing them to work faster and more creatively on the most complex projects.

For users working in high track count environments, such as audio post-production, Pro Tools Ultimate offers 50 percent more voice/audio tracks than previous versions.

In addition to this base voice limit increase to 384, Pro Tools Ultimate software and HD Native customers will be able to further increase the number of voices available up to 768 per system (on par with a three-card Pro Tools HDX system) with the addition of native Pro Tools Ultimate Voice Packs. The ability to scale the number of voices in Pro Tools Ultimate software allows for a greater degree of flexibility and power to tackle the most demanding jobs and when working in tandem with high-powered HDX systems.

Additionally, this version of Pro Tools has improved playback features which allow for more fluid creativity in the software. Users can perform seamless track and timeline interactions during inserting playback plugins, adding or removing tracks, changing routing, adjusting loop lengths, and much more. This set of playback features allows users to work quickly and therefore more productively, without playback errors interrupting their flow.

It is also worth noting that Pro Tools now also includes a EUCON protocol update to integrate new monitoring and mixing functions into control apps and systems such as Pro Tools S6/S3, Pro Tools Control for iOS and the Avid Artist series.
