Pro Tools, the industry standard DAW for recording and audio post production has just graduated to the class of 2019. As with other recent updates, the focus is on evolution rather than revolution.

Pro Tools is the brand most often associated with recording in the modern era. Avid has just released a new version of the software, with the focus on incremental workflow improvements.

The new version boasts a doubling of the MIDI track count, up from 512 to 1024. It might sound like overkill, but with richly orchestrated pieces that need multiple articulations for each instrument, it might just come in handy.

A long time bugbear of many users has been the annoying clunks and dropouts when attempting to make adjustments in real time. Now you can switch plug ins, loop points and presets without massively disturbing playback.

Other timesaving features, like naming tracks within the New Track dialog will no doubt shave off a few seconds in the heat of a session.

For all the details, head over to the Avid website.
