Avid Launches “Music in Motion with Pro Tools | First” Contest to Give Aspiring Artists the Chance of a Lifetime
February 09 2016 - 9:00AM
Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID) today launched Music in Motion with Pro Tools®
| First, a contest that gives aspiring artists a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to get real-world feedback and session time with a top
music industry producer. The contest delivers on Avid EverywhereTM
by enabling aspiring artists to create professional-sounding tracks
using the same tools that the world’s top music professionals use.
To enter, contestants need to download Pro Tools | First, the
free version of the industry-standard Pro Tools digital audio
workstation, record their demo and submit it online between
February 8 and March 31, 2016. Contestants choose which world-class
music producer they’d like to work with if they win — Jason Evigan
(Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Madonna) or Jesse "Corparal" Wilson (Sam
Smith, Maroon 5, Wiz Khalifa). The producers will each choose a
winner, who will fly to Los Angeles to meet with their chosen
producer at their studio for feedback and session time. The winners
will also receive a complete studio setup, featuring Pro Tools, Pro
Tools | Quartet, Eleven® MK II, and Classic Compressors Bundle. Two
runners up will win a Pro Tools perpetual license.
“We created Pro Tools | First to give individuals trying to
break out into the industry the same music creation capabilities
used by top artists and recording studios worldwide,” said Avid
Chairman, President and CEO Louis Hernandez Jr. “With this contest
we’re giving aspiring artists the opportunity to work with the best
of the best and potentially make their music dreams come to
fruition using the free version of the industry-standard audio
workstation.”
Pro Tools | First is simple enough for beginners and
sophisticated enough for the experienced musician. Artists can
quickly turn ideas into professional-sounding songs by recording,
using software instruments, and applying audio effects. To expand
their creative toolset further, the integrated Avid App Store
provides a world of affordable AAX plug-ins and “First” bundles in
the Avid Marketplace that make creating, shaping, and enhancing
sounds quick and easy. Pro Tools | First also accommodates the
mobile lifestyle of artists and aspiring pros, allowing users to
save and manage sessions securely in the cloud when logged into an
Avid account from any Mac or PC with Pro Tools | First
installed.
