The Most Powerful, Flexible Pro Tools!
If there's one constant in professional studios across the globe, it's arguably Pro Tools software. And now, this industry-standard DAW is more powerful and flexible than ever before! For the first time ever, you can choose your own audio interface to record into Pro Tools 9 - or mix on the go, using no interface at all. The hardware doors are wide open, giving you maximum flexibility to record the way you want. But that's just one of the many exciting new features in this completely re-architected version of Pro Tools!

With Pro Tools 9, you get all of the highly regarded creative and production power that has made Pro Tools the DAW of choice for top engineers and producers - including over 70 first-class virtual instrument and processing plug-ins to shape your sound - but this new version of Pro Tools is truly in a class of its own. Avid went all out, packing in a number of the most widely requested enhancements - as well as absolute surprises - to unveil this game-changing release.
On top of open support for your favorite audio interface, Pro Tools 9 now features Automatic Delay Compensation to save you time. Previously an HD-only feature, Automatic Delay Compensation (ADC) lets you stack up instances of your favorite plug-ins during your workflow, without ever needing to nudge tracks for perfect phase alignment. You can work faster, without the need for complicated calculations. The bottom line is, you stay in the creative zone while Pro Tools 9 does the work for you.
Another feature that's primed to improve your workflow - and your results - is the inclusion of Multitrack Beat Detective. This raved-about feature was previously only available as an added option. But now, you can enjoy the built-in ability to analyze, fix, and tighten grooves to get your whole session flowing in sync. You won't believe how Multitrack Beat Detective helps tighten your mix and gets the rhythm section really grooving together. It's unlike any other tool you've used.
Speaking of workflow enhancements, one you'll definitely want to look into is the new EuCon support for Euphonix's renowned control surfaces. Now, you can pair the elegant, time-saving features of the Euphonix Artist Series MC Control and MC Mix control surfaces with the globally respected audio editing and mixing features in Pro Tools. It's never been easier to get your hands on your mix and develop your own efficient, professional Pro Tools workflow. And with the comprehensive set of features and helpful shortcuts built into Pro Tools, you can be at the creative helm - and the top of your audio game - with Pro Tools 9 and Euphonix.
What else is new with Pro Tools 9? For one thing, it's now easier than ever to collaborate with colleagues and friends who use other DAW and video software. Pro Tools 9 now includes OMF, AAF, and MXF importing and exporting, previously an add-on feature. And to make Pro Tools 9 an even better choice for post production, Avid packed in Time Code support, complete with Feet and Frames rulers. Add to all that a built-in MP3 export feature, and Pro Tools is more conducive to project collaboration and file sharing/exporting than ever before.
As you can see, "more" is the theme for Pro Tools 9. And along with adding to Pro Tools' long list of great features, Avid also injected "more" into the traditional Pro Tools framework. For example, you now get more tracks - up to 96 voiceable tracks at 44.1/48kHz or up to 192 with HD. You also get more simultaneous I/O. That is, you get 32 channels or up to 64 channels with HD. With these generous track counts, you're free to work the way you want.
Rounding out the list of exciting new features in Pro Tools 9 is Adjustable Stereo Pan Depth. Now, you can step outside of typical Left/Right panning and give your tracks a sense of depth and space. You won't believe the way it can help open up your mixes and define a sound that's all your own.
With a superb collection of virtual instruments for everything from "drum machine"-style grooves to analog synths to a fantastic grand piano, Pro Tools 9 really is the complete start-to-finish solution for seasoned recordists and beginners alike. What's more, with the flexibility of Pro Tools 9, the doors to this industry-standard DAW are open to everyone. Use the interface you like, work the way you want, but know you have the most widely used and trusted recording, editing, and mixing tools in the world, at the ready for your creative control. There's never been a better time to step into the power of Pro Tools 9.
