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! See more on Gearwire.com.
