Accel Into More Tracks & Power Today! In keeping with the Pro Tools legacy, Pro Tools|HD Accel gives you the very best set of tools and resources available for audio production and the fastest means of getting the job done. Replacing the original HD Process cards made available with Pro Tools|HD, HD Accel cards are included with all core Pro Tools|HD Accel systems featuring more than one PCI card (HD 2 Accel, HD 3 Accel). Pro Tools|HD Accel cards may also be purchased separately and added to any Pro Tools|HD system to supercharge its power and expand available options. Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel at a Glance: Unprecedented power for the most demanding sessions. Add more tracks than ever before to your mix. Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support The added power of Pro Tools|HD version 7 software Power Beyond Belief Pro Tools|HD Accel offers a fusion of unprecedented power, ease-of-use, flexibility, and pristine sound quality. While the HD Core card remains unchanged from original Pro Tools|HD systems, the HD Accel card replaces the previous generation HD Process cards, and may be added to any Pro Tools|HD system to supercharge its processing power and provide access to new, HD Accel-optimized plug-ins and features. Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel and HD 3 Accel systems feature the HD Core card and one or two HD Accel cards, respectively. The HD Core card serves as the central processing hub of the HD environment, featuring twice the DSP processing power of Digidesign's older MIX Core card and support for up to 32 channels of I/O with Digidesign audio interfaces. The HD Accel card offers nearly double the processing muscle of HD Process cards, four times that of MIX Farm cards, and exclusively supports next-generation professional plug-ins. On top of that, don't forget that you've got plenty of power from the host computer available to accommodate additional plug-ins or applications. Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel includes an HD Core card, an HD Accel card, and support for up to 64 channels of I/O with Pro Tools audio interfaces. Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel - representing the very best savings of the three available Pro Tools|HD core systems - includes the HD Core card, two HD Accel cards, and provides support for up to 96 channels of I/O. More Tracks Then EVER! Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel and 3 Accel support up to 192 simultaneous audio tracks at 44.1/48 kHz sample rates, 96 tracks at 88.2/96 kHz sample rates, and 36 tracks at 176.4/192 kHz. Improving upon the dedicated processing capabilities introduced with original Pro Tools|HD systems, Pro Tools|HD 2 Accel and HD 3 Accel increase voice counts by 50% at 44.1 - 192 kHz sample rates, and triple voice counts at 44.1/48 kHz compared to Pro Tools|24 MIX systems. The new HD Accel architecture affords nearly twice the raw DSP power as HD Process cards, not to mention additional Pro Tools 6.9 software optimizations, which further enhance the overall power of Pro Tools|HD Accel systems. The real-world benefits: Bigger and better mixes at any sample rate, support for more complex plug-in algorithms, increased plug-in counts, and an overall dramatic leap forward in day-to-day operational efficiency. In practical terms, the use of HD Accel cards result in higher voice counts across all sample rates (44.1 - 192 kHz). You'll also see substantially increased DSP power and plug-in support, and the capacity to support future DSP-intensive plug-ins and features that would otherwise cripple a host-only system. Additionally, Pro Tools|HD Accel seamlessly integrates with the entire line of Pro Tools|HD audio interfaces and peripherals, so all previous Digidesign hardware investments remain entirely viable. Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support When you buy your Pro Tools system from Sweetwater, you have a team of Pro Tools experts standing behind you. We have helped literally thousands of our customers get started with their Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems, and we've even created a Sweetwater-exclusive online Pro Tools Resource Center that answers many of the most common Pro Tools questions - everything from how to set up your first session, to the latest compatibility details. All of these resources - including our award-winning tech support team - are absolutely free to Sweetwater customers, and you'll have immediate access to them from the moment you open the box!

Enhanced support for multi-processor computers and improvements to the RTAS environment. Menus have been streamlined and organized more logically. Support for a full array of hardware interfaces and peripherals. More Compositional Tools Take advantage of new Instrument Tracks for improved integration with virtual instruments and MIDI sound modules.

Use new region looping capabilities to assemble grooves or fill time between video cues. Apply groove input quantization to alter the feel of MIDI tracks as you record. With these and many more features, Pro Tools 7 software is what composers have been waiting for. Real-time Tweaking Encouraged Experiment more freely with MIDI tracks using new real-time MIDI processing capabilities. Capitalize on mirrored MIDI editing to automatically alter copies of MIDI regions throughout a session. Use the new Zoom Toggle button to quickly enter an editor view mode for easy editing of audio and MIDI. Choose the new Link Track and Edit Selection option to apply track-level commands across multiple tracks at the same time. In addition to these features, nearly every MIDI operation window includes enhancements, making it faster and easier to work with MIDI than ever before. Greater Mixing Power and Flexibility Enhanced support for multi-processor computers and improvements to the RTAS environment in Pro Tools 7 software increase plug-in counts up to 150% on dual-processor computers. In many cases, you'll be able to run more than twice as many RTAS plug-ins and virtual instruments on your sessions. (Click here for more information on RTAS performance improvements.) Additional software optimizations provide a faster, more responsive, and more powerful workstation. Plus, support for RTAS processing plug-ins on Aux Inputs and Master Faders (a new feature for Pro Tools|HD systems) enhances compatibility between Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE™, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. Even Easier to Use Even with all of its additions and improvements, Pro Tools 7 software is still one of the easiest audio applications to use. Menus have been streamlined and organized more logically, though key commands remain the same. A new Tool Tips feature provides descriptions of objects within the interface when the cursor is placed over them so you can get better acquainted with the interface.

"Inline" console emulation mode for the ICON D-Control worksurface to control preamp, record, and monitoring levels from one channel strip. Additional Pro Tools 7 Features Includes EQ III - the all-new, free, high-resolution, double-precision 48-bit EQ plug-in. Organize plug-ins by type, manufacturer, or both.
