Digidesign showed a preview of things to come with Pro Tools 6.0 software for Mac OS X. Due to ship toward the end of December; version 6.0 has been “aquafied” for OSX, giving it an exceptionally streamlined look and feel. In addition to the OSX support, the new version had several cool feature refinements, including the DigiBase file management utility. DigiBase is similar to the Macintosh Finder or Windows’ Explorer enabling you to manage all of the files on your system – no small task for large or small Pro Tools sessions. DigiBase allows you to view complete file information and display layouts can be customized to focus exclusively on the information you need. MIDI enhancements include full support for OS X’s Core MIDI Services, MIDI Time Stamping support, Groove Quantize, and more. Another new feature in 6.0 is dual processor support, which promises improvements to tasks such as screen redraws and RTAS plugin performance tremendously. Version 6 software for Windows is due to ship Q1 in 2003. More info on ProTools 6.0 for OSX
