Digidesign Pro Tools 8 HD

Certainly one of the biggest announcements -- if not THE biggest -- at the 125th AES Convention was the release of Pro Tools 8 for both HD and LE systems. The main overhaul was the Pro Tools GUI, which has been streamlined and re-, ahem, tooled for more efficient workflow and higher visibility.

The GUI update is literally only the surface of the new release: there's new editing options, effects plugins and virtual instruments galore. Version 8's many features are described in detail here by Mark Gutnik, Marketing Manager for Digidesgn Pro Products. We're assuming he had a hand in designing the Pro Tools display at AES; if so . . . DAAAAMN, GUTNIK!

Doesn't matter which one if you can't mix and your master sucks. Digital music is digital music. It's whatever you prefer. But if you can't mix, and your tracks are lame the so will you final product.

Happy Hunting!

Finally the copied all the quality functions of Logic and we finally don't have to switch between three different softwares just to get one song perfectly done. I just want to have Melodyne build in to Tools. Then the prog would actually start to be worth money ;)

Anybody know how to update your protools?? Also the protools i have doesnt have as many plugins as others i see videos of on here on youtube. Can anybody please help me?

another greedy fat marketing k u n t, HEAT does not need hardware, pro tools has tons of artificial limitations so that customers get trapped into buying their hardware, you guys are the lowest liars on the planet!

@djcreation24 Any version of pro tools requires hardware protools HD 8 requires hardware that begins in the thousand like that soundboard you just saw. 8 LE requires something like the Mbox2. Pro tools M-powered requires something like the m-audio fast track. And pro tools M-audio 8 requires something like M-audio producer microphone .

"all the things you love about protools...." and they would be?

[mmbkmm]

@kennykensworth i agree, especially when they come out it version 9.5 which has 64 bit support. I believe FL Studio 10 will be the best DAW out there
