Digidesign has announced that its much-anticipated Pro Tools 7.4 software had already surpassed the 10,000 mark in downloaded purchases last Saturday (December 1, 2007), after a scant 25 days on the market. Pro Tools hardware and software is used worldwide for digital sound recording, editing, mixing, and MIDI sequencing. It is also in use extensively within the music, film, multimedia, television, and radio broadcast industries. Pro Tools 7.4 software has been updated with numerous music and post-production features and workflow enhancements for users of the company’s high-end Pro Tools|HD, as well as its affordable Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. Included among them is a powerful, multifaceted new music composition and production tool called Elastic Time, as well as improved networking compatibility with industry-standard Avid video systems.
Pro Tools 7.4 software is currently available for Windows XP- and Mac OS X 10.4-based Pro Tools|HD systems, as well as Windows XP-, Windows Vista-, and Mac OS X 10.4-based Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. Expanded Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) support should be forthcoming as users gravitate towards these enhanced systems.
