Pro Tools 8 Announced at AES
October 1, 2008 by Chris Bryant
The following information is an “unofficial” announcement, or Pro Tools 8 “leak” that was posted recently at mixonline.com. Chances are that it’s accurate. But we’ll have to wait until later this week (Oct.3), when Digidesign officially unveils their latest and greatest at the 125th AES convention, to find out all the exciting “official” details about what’s next.
DIGIDESIGN PRO TOOLS 8
Pro Tools 8 (which includes Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered) has been completely updated with a new user interface, dozens of new bundled plug-ins (including five new virtual instruments and 20 effects), fully integrated MIDI and score editors, and expanded editing features. The user interface is enhanced with a more modern color palette and higher-contrast text and graphics, yet the key functions users rely on are still right where they should be, while enhancements—such as dockable Editor windows and a configurable Edit Window toolbar—make it easier to navigate than ever. Pro Tools 8 software will be available in late 2008 for Windows Vista (32-bit Business or Ultimate), Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)-based Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. AES Booth: #702
