| Pro Tools LE is perfect for anyone into home recording and has been used by semi-professional and even entry-level professional studios. Its modest track count and simultaneous recording channel count are more than sufficient for small projects. A lack of automatic delay compensation and limited I/O keep plug-in and outboard gear integration minimal, but the low price of Pro Tools LE makes it incredibly accessible. | If you have a powerful computer and have outgrown your LE rig, then Pro Tools|HD Native is the logical next step for you. Automatic delay compensation as well as the low-latency I/O and high-quality conversion possible with Pro Tools|HD Native are absolutely essential for semi-professional or professional production. And with up to 64 simultaneous tracks of I/O, integrating outboard gear into your rig is easy. | Designed to meet the standards of the world's top recording professionals, Pro Tools|HD provides the DSP that is absolutely essential for full-scale audio and music production. The coprocessors found on HD Accel cards Not only provide the power needed to run intensely detailed TDM/HD plug-ins, but they also handle all mixing functions, allowing you to use these plug-ins during tracking, without experiencing any latency. |
