As promised, Digidesign has begun shipping Pro Tools HD 7.2 software. Not surprisingly, this update has an enhanced feature set that includes cutting edge automation, extended video capabilities, built-in dubber/stem recorder functionality, and the new SignalTools DigiRack metering plug-in. All of the new features and enhancements were designed in response to feedback from mixing and post professionals who use Digidesign systems in the real world every day. Digi’s project engineers even added improved functionality for ICON users, such as VCA fader spill, 2-knob surround panning, and much more. For fast review and approval, Pro Tools HD 7.2 also allows users to bounce video and audio to a QuickTime movie, which can be played back through Avid Mojo or AVoption|V10.
For a limited time, anyone who purchases the MassivePack 5 or MassivePack Pro 5 plug-in bundle before September 15, 2006 gets a free upgrade to Pro Tools HD 7.2. If you purchased and registered a new Pro Tools|HD system, or did a Pro Tools|HD hardware exchange or Pro Tools HD software upgrade on or after July 1st, 2006, you’re eligible for a free Pro Tools HD 7.2 upgrade.
