Pro Tools 2019 Delivers More Power and Performance for Fluid Music Creation and Demanding Audio Post Workflows
May 09 2019 - 2:10PM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced the immediate availability of
Pro Tools® 2019. The latest version of the industry-standard
digital audio workstation boosts power and performance for every
level of user—from professional music creators and aspiring artists
to top-echelon audio post professionals and engineers—enabling 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 delivers 50 percent
more voices/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 available voices 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 enables a greater degree of
flexibility and power to tackle the most demanding work and when
working in tandem with high-powered HDX systems.
Additionally, this release of Pro Tools has enhanced playback
features that enable more fluid creativity in the software. Users
can perform seamless track and timeline interactions during
playback—inserting plugins, adding or deleting tracks, changing
routing, adjusting loop duration and more. This suite of playback
features allows users to work quickly, and therefore more
productively, without playback errors disrupting their flow.
“It’s amazing to think that our existing Pro Tools systems can
inherit so much additional capability with a software update such
as this one,” said re-recording mixer Jonathan Wales. “These are
the features we’ve been dreaming of and they were highly ranked in
the Avid Customer Association’s annual vote. It’s extremely
exciting to have them arrive. This is a huge release, because not
only do we get a massive increase in power—with more voices in Pro
Tools | Ultimate—but the speed is unbelievable. Not having the
playback stop while inserting plugins or routing tracks is an
incredible revelation and will only encourage creativity
further.”
For Pro Tools | First users, they can now create and save an
unlimited number of projects locally. Users can selectively sync up
to three projects to their complimentary cloud storage for easy
access anytime, anywhere.
For facilities and institutions, Avid also announced the
immediate availability of Pro Tools Multiseat Network Site
Licensing. Multiseat licensing enables easy administration of
multiple Pro Tools seats from a single account and local server,
eliminating the need for a multitude of physical iLok dongles and
cumbersome site management.
“Our goal was to deliver new features for every kind of user,
whether they’re working in audio post production, or music
creation, and whether they’re a Pro Tools | First user just
starting out or a Pro Tools | Ultimate user at the peak of their
career,” said Rob D’Amico, Director, Audio Solutions Marketing at
Avid. “Every year, we continually deliver Pro Tools updates to
subscribers throughout the year, giving them the capabilities they
need to deliver their best possible sound and keep their creativity
flowing.”
