With Pro Tools M-Powered and an M-Audio interface you can record up to 18 simultaneous audio tracks. Pro Tools M-Powered can play back up to 32 tracks of audio at sample rates of up to 96kHz, depending on the capability of your M-Audio hardware. You can increase your Pro Tools M-Powered track count to 48 with the optional Music Production Toolkit.

Pro Tools' editing capabilities set the standard for what we expect from a DAW, and Pro Tools M-Powered delivers the same editing power. Using a single screen - the Edit Window - you are able to adjust literally every aspect of both audio and MIDI tracks. Pro Tools' non-linear, nondestructive approach to editing enables you to act instantly on your decisions without having to commit to them, and the versatile Super Tool turns your cursor into a tour de force of editing power and speed.

Pro Tools M-Powered's Mix Window offers an extremely intuitive means of adjusting the parameters of your mix with all the functionality of a traditional console. Or, for those who prefer a hands-on approach, an M-Audio ProjectMix I/O control surface merges the software and hardware world and places the power beneath your fingertips. However you choose to operate, Pro Tools presents you with a variety of methods to control and automate your mix - all within a non-destructive, recovery-friendly environment geared toward rapid, superior results!

Pro Tools M-Powered includes dozens of plug-ins ranging from dynamics to effects to instruments. To use plug-ins, you simply activate them within Pro Tools. You are free to employ presets, customize settings, and/or automate any plug-in's activity. Plug-ins that have been designed for Pro Tools lend a world of flavors to your sonic landscape!

Any session you create can be seamlessly moved between both Windows- and Macintosh-based Pro Tools M-Powered, LE, or HD systems while retaining all automation, track configurations, MIDI data, and even plug-in assignments. Pass your session to a collaborator or take it to a professional studio without compromising your session's integrity. Because Pro Tools M-Powered shares the same user interface as professional HD systems, everything you learn using Pro Tools M-Powered is transferable to Pro Tools|HD systems.

The full MIDI sequencing capabilities of the industry-standard audio production software allows you to record, edit, and mix up to 256 MIDI tracks alongside your audio. MIDI events and sequences are manipulated as easily as audio in Pro Tools M-Powered.
