Developer's Description By DigiDesign. Pro Tools LE systems offer everything you need to create and produce music with professional results.
Full Specifications. What's new in version 6. Release August 25, Date Added April 20, Version 6. Operating Systems. Total Downloads 71, Downloads Last Week 0. Pro Tools 7 arrives a whole three years after version 6, but Digidesign have released many significant upgrades in the interim.
These added key features such as automatic delay compensaton, Track Punch, input monitor buttons, During this time Digidesign have also released a new Icon family of control surfaces which we'll review in SOS soon , aiming to give people an integrated alternative to traditional mixing consoles, and Venue, a live mixing console based on Pro Tools technology.
In many ways, Pro Tools 7 is the most important release of the Pro Tools software to date. Version 7 is the first paid upgrade of the Pro Tools software you can actually buy and download on-line.
Another change for version 7 of Pro Tools HD is that the application now requires an iLok authorisation instead of a serial number, regardless of the Digidesign hardware configuration you're running. This stops larger facilities or even groups of friends buying one copy of the upgrade and installing on it on a number of different systems, which seems fair enough, and all Pro Tools HD systems already come with an HD Bundle iLok anyway.
The M-Powered version for M Audio hardware does require an iLok authorisation, but as it's so new, Digidesign are making the version 7 update a free download for existing users. While these manuals are available for free on-line as PDFs, I like being able to have a printed copy on my desk, especially as Digidesign's documentation is generally pretty well written.
To start with, I installed the 7. I let the installer run over my existing installation and, other than a new splash screen, the process is identical to installing previous versions of Pro Tools. The engine for running RTAS plug-ins is now multi-threaded and fully supports multiple processor cores for both dual-processor and dual-core systems and technologies such as Intel's Hyperthreading.
In Pro Tools HD 6. In each case, Activity Monitor reported Pro Tools using between and percent of the system, with the User usage between 56 and 72 percent, so despite Pro Tools overloading, it was clear it wasn't taking full advantage of the available resources.
Unfortunately, there aren't any improvements for single-processor users, and in fact, Digidesign warn that with certain PT7 -optimised RTAS plug-ins you'll actually see a slight drop in performance when compared with earlier versions. The first important point to note is that Digidesign have introduced a new '. PT7 will still open older Sessions, and there's an option to save Sessions in a 'version 5.
There are a couple of changes to the mixer in PT7. This follows on from v6. Once you have a Session open in PT7 , you'll see that, well, it doesn't look too much different from version 6! In terms of the user interface, the appearance is identical to previous versions, and the only major change is a reworking of the menu organisation. Like many users, I feel a certain amount of dread when the menus are reorganised in an application I use on a regular basis, but in this case Digidesign have actually made it easier to find commands in Pro Tools.
For example, rather than having dedicated menus for MIDI and Movie operations, along with track-related commands in the File menu, there are now three menus labelled Track, Region and Event.
The Track menu contains commands for creating new tracks, deleting and grouping, along with other track-related functions like Split Mono and Make Inactive. The Window menu has also been simplified, and there's a new separate View menu that's used to configure the appearance of Pro Tools ' windows.
Overall, this is a big improvement, and many of contextual menus have also been cleaned up in a similar way. While the visual change in PT7 is pretty minimal, once you start working with the application, you'll soon notice enhanced functionality in almost every area.
As before, the order of this List is always reflected in the order of the tracks on the Edit window, so choosing a different Sort By option also affects the Edit window.
One other user-interface improvement is the inclusion of 'tool tips', so if you hover your mouse cursor over a control for a moment, a handy tip will appear telling you what that particular control is, or does.
A further numerical improvement is that PT7 Sessions now support up to memory locations, up from This was necessary because Digidesign's other real-time host-based plug-in format, RTAS, was more limited in the functionality that could be provided. In PT7 , HTDM has been replaced with a new RTAS implementation that is more powerful both in terms of sheer performance with the number of instances you can run see box above for more information , and the functionality of how you work with these types of plug-ins in Pro Tools.
Every time audio needs to be sent to or from the TDM world, one voice per channel of the plug-in is used one voice for a mono plug-in, two voices for a stereo plug-in and so on.
So if you have a stereo Auxiliary Input track that takes its audio input from a Pro Tools interface and you use an RTAS plug-in, you need two voices to get the audio from the interface to the host processor, and then when the output of that audio gets routed back to an physical output or buss in the TDM world, you need another two voices.
In practice, this is more straightforward than you might think, and unless you run really large Sessions with a large number of audio tracks, you shouldn't find yourself running out of voices with RTAS plug-ins. One nice touch is that the System Usage window now includes a new section telling you the number of TDM Voices currently allocated, which makes it much easier to keep track of your voice usage.
As a final note, unfortunately you still can't monitor RTAS plug-ins in real-time on an audio track, even with the new RTAS architecture, but you can at least fudge something by using a combination of Auxiliary Inputs, audio tracks and busses. You can create multitrack Region Groups that incorporate Regions across multiple tracks of different types. Not every HTDM plug-in will convert correctly to an RTAS version, but at the time of writing developers are already releasing versions of their plug-ins optimised for compatibility with PT7.
Many existing plug-ins will run just fine, but some will require new versions. For example, trying to use the TDM version of Sony's Oxford EQ produced an alert telling me 'The plug-in could not be made active because it is not supported in this version of Pro Tools. Please contact the manufacturer for upgrade information. This doesn't seem to be a serious issue, though, as developers seem to be releasing compatible versions, and I'm pretty sure most plug-ins will be PT7 -compatible by the time you're reading this — before I submitted this article, for example, Sony had already published a Pro Tools 7 -compatible upgrade for the Oxford EQ.
One last issue concerning compatibility is for third-party host applications. One area of PT7 that's particularly handy is a collection of new features for dealing with Regions. Even in areas such as post-production, more and more people these days work by loading sound effects into software samplers within Pro Tools and triggering via MIDI instead of using audio Regions all the time. This means that having a consolidated Region List with its associated commands such as Find, with its new Find History operations that doesn't discriminate between MIDI and audio Regions is definitely a good move.
Pro Tools 7's Region Groups make it easy to turn this Pro Tools 7 also introduces a new type of Region called a Region Group.
