PRO TOOLS PC UPDATE

Tracks with multiple plug-ins could be committed at any point in the chain, with plug-ins after the commit point copied to the new Audio track. The old track would then be hidden and made inactive, but could be brought back at any time should you wish. Track Commit enables users to quickly render a track to a new Audio track with the plug-in effects printed down. 12.3 itself didn’t have the freeze function, but it had ‘Track Commit’, which played a similar function.

The big announcement with 12.3 was that in order to streamline workflows, in anticipation of the cloud-collaboration features, Pro Tools was finally getting a freeze function – a feature already available in most other DAWs and something users had been begging for for years.

PRO TOOLS PC UPDATE

Quick on the heels of 12.2 came Pro Tools 12.3, the update that finally got users excited about upgrading. Space is a fantastic effect, and one we’ve used on countless mixes, so it’s good to see this effect continue to be given attention. One other effect that was also added as part of the subscription bundled at 12.2 was Avid Space, an updated version of the old TL Space convolution reverb plug-in. These effects model a variety of popular guitar stompbox effects and act as a useful complement to the older Avid effects. USB 3.0 and ThunderBolt have enabled large I/O counts at ever-decreasing latencies, further eroding the advantages of a HD hardware system. The DSP power of HD was essential for studios in the past, enabling large sessions and low latencies that were impossible to achieve natively, and explains why Pro Tools became the industry standard.īut this advantage has been steadily eroded and users have been able to run incredibly large sessions on native DAWs for a few years now, with CPU limits rarely ever providing a bottleneck.

The dichotomy between native Pro Tools (previously Pro Tools LE) and Pro Tools|HD has always been an odd one. This new update brought previously HD-only features, such as larger sessions, improved track soloing, and a native version of Avid’s Heat saturation effect, to the standard version of Pro Tools. The first update came shortly afterwards, and as promised was free to subscribers. However, the way was being paved for improvements in the future with a new application manager, and the option to purchase and rent plug-ins from inside Pro Tools.
