The Fast Track even includes a dedicated “tablet” port (USB A, it appears) for connecting an iPad directly without the inconvenience of a Camera Connection Kit in between.īut Pro Tools 11, of course, is the big news, so back to that. That has become a standard feature, and it means, if unintentionally, USB class compliance for Linux and embedded devices, to boot. And Apple seems asleep at the wheel as far as providing integration between the Final Cut Pro X engine and Logic – this is another painful reminder of how silent Apple has been about the DAW they once enthusiastically hyped.Īs an aside, this week also brought refreshes for the Fast Track USB audio interface line that add iOS support.

Audio rivals like MOTU and Steinberg lack the video products Adobe lacks the music product.

Avid Video Engine from Avid Media Composer – native playback of MXF HD, Avid DNxHD, and other HD video formats.

That is, if you do know what you’re doing with mixing don’t talk to me, as I’m a useless musician.) Being able to accurately see this information it seems is a boon to mixing – not as a replacement to your ears, but certainly as a supplement. (This is actually one no one is talking about, and I’m a bit surprised metering is one of the murkiest areas of how many DAWs work.

HD 11 metering options, scale/ballistics options.

(There is, of course, no reason a DAW shouldn’t do that now it does.) Rewritten audio engine, the Avid Audio Engine, which adds 64-bit native computational support (and thus catches up with SONAR, Cubase/Nuendo, and so on).Weird ad copy aside, the rest of the feature list does look good: It seems there is a new engine users are happy with, but there would have to be something horribly wrong with the previous engine for the new one to be exponentially faster on the same hardware architecture. A 64-bit engine, for instance, generally offers marginal, not exponential gains. (See below for an excellent, detailed editorial that makes the same argument – not to plagiarize I simply agree wholeheartedly.) And if you’re looking for news on that front, it seems you’ll have to wait.Īs for the announcement, the marketing copy also starts with a peculiar marketing claim: “Get exponentially more processing power than Pro Tools 10 using the same hardware.” It’s hard to know where Avid would find exponential performance gains, unless they know a different meaning of the word. But the announcement comes at a time when a cloud hangs over the developer’s corporate entity. It’s a bit of a paradox: Pro Tools remains the massively-dominant DAW in high-end productions for film, television, and video love it or hate the software, Pro Tools users routinely dominate Grammy and Academy Awards.

What is new is seeing a Pro Tools upgrade overshadowed by uncertainty about its developer.

These still will do little to sway users of other DAWs, but that’s not new. The engine rewrite is joined here by top-of-class video integration, benefiting from Pro Tools’ sister products in video at Avid. Those improvements look promising real-world performance is one of those things that makes the biggest difference in day-in, day-out use. There are no whiz-bang features in this upgrade instead, it seems Avid was solely focused on performance. Image courtesy Avid.Īvid has announced Pro Tools 11, the latest version of their flagship DAW. Pro Tools’ video integration is now formidable, with Avid’s flagship engine built right in.
