Pro Tools 11 Posted on 2014-06-02 by Sam Marcello

Pro Tools, still the best audio editing and mixing workflow on the planet. Lightning-fast 64-bit recording and mixing engine. Pro Tools 11, a ground-up rewrite of the most popular digital audio workstation, period. Much faster and more robust than before. For many musicians, recording engineers, and producers—from the multi-million dollar recording facility, right on down to the smallest bedroom studios—Pro Tools is it. Expensive, but this is definitely a case where you get what you pay for, particularly when it comes to audio recording and mixing workflow. 

With Pro Tools 11, you can play back up to 96 simultaneous stereo tracks at 48kHz, 48 tracks at 96kHz, or 24 tracks at 192kHz, with up to 32 tracks of simultaneous recording—the same as Pro Tools 10. You also get 512 MIDI tracks, 128 instrument tracks, 128 auxiliary tracks, 256 busses, and a video track.

Why choose Pro Tools? Simple: all DAWs on the market do the same things, more or less. The question you should ask yourself is "what do I intend to do with them?'. Pro Tools is the program most often used by professionals. So, if you want to get into this world, you'd better learn how to use it!

Walk On!

The ability to evaluate sound quality of a mix is of extreme importance in a music production project. Assessing the quality of a mix is more difficult than assessing the quality of a single sound or single track, because not only does it require focus on the sounds that form the mix but it demands continuous attention shifts between microscopic details of the individual sounds (as they interact when they are in the mix) and macroscopic properties of the overall sound texture; both aspects are equally important...
