DIGIDESIGN UNVEILS 24-BIT PRO TOOLS|24 SYSTEM If you're in the market for a high end digital multitrack recording system, we invite you to compare the raw performance, superior fidelity and extraordinary user interface of the new Digidesign Pro Tools|24 System ($7995 list price for the Core System) to any other product on the market - tape or disk-based - at any price. None are quieter, more pristine and honest to the Pro Tools|24. And certainly none of them offer a better price-to-performance value.
Pro Tools|24 provides digital recording, You begin with a "Core System" which includes a d24 audio card. This is a PCI-bus card which connects to your choice of Digidesign Audio Interfaces, either the 888|24 I/O ($3495 list) or 882 I/O ($995 list). Next there's the DSP Farm card, which is used for Pro Tools' real-time mixing and signal processing features. You also get a selection of incredibly useful TDM Plug-Ins, bundled at no extra charge, including multi-band parametric EQ, dynamics (compressor, gate, peak limiter, and more), delay, and others. Finally, you also get Digi's award-winning Pro Tools software.
To run Pro Tools|24, you'll also need at least one Audio Interface and one or more Digidesign-qualified disk drives for storing your audio data. You'll need a computer, of course - a Digidesign-qualified Macintosh or Mac OS-compatible. Track count, digital processing, and I/O are all completely expandable. If you need higher track count and/or more than 24 channels of I/O, the Pro Tools|24 If you want all the mixing and editing power of the Pro Tools|24 System, and 16 to 48 tracks of 16-bit audio meets your needs (hey, that's CD-quality), then Pro Tools III is probably right for you, particularly since Digidesign has lowered the list price to a surprisingly affordable $4995. Just like Pro Tools|24, a Pro Tools III core system also includes a DSP Farm, a selection of bundled TDM Plug-Ins, and of course, the same critically acclaimed Pro Tools software.
