Pro Tools 6.0 coming to X
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
October 7th 2002
X support, a new look, more organization, more MIDI and more control shouts the
company's press release
Digidesign has announced that Pro Tools 6.0 for X is "coming soon." This whole-number
revision adds a powerful set of new features and improvements that make this the next
evolutionary step for Pro Tools software. With Pro Tools 6.0, the user will experience
a completely new level of efficiency and effectiveness when working with Pro Tools.
Premier among the new features is support for X, providing improved, solid interaction
between the Pro Tools environment and Apple's G4. A new streamlined look for the Mix,
Edit and Transport windows makes this the most user-friendly Pro Tools software
environment yet, according to a company press release.
New multi-user login functionality enables individual users to save custom display,
operation, editing, automation, processing, compatibility and MIDI preferences,
providing a new degree of personalization with the Pro Tools environment.
v6.0 software also features the new DigiBase file management utility, enhanced MIDI
functionality (including hi-res groove templates), additional beat detective features,
new import session options, plug-in functionality enhancements and machine control
additions.
Additional new features include a new relative grid option, a new keyboard shortcut
for temporarily disabling grid mode and definable note duration when drawing notes
(the pencil tool now also trims notes). The trim tool now trims notes in velocity
view, and MIDI operations and tempo/meter change are easily accessible floating
windows.
Digidesign-approved Pro Tools TDM (Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools|24 MIX, Pro Tools|24) or LE
(Digi 001 and ToolBox) system for X (support for Mbox and Digi 002) are all coming
soon. No pricing has been announced. XP support is not scheduled to arrive until Q3
2003.
Editor's note: Despite a lack of a ship date and pricing this is a major announcement
vis-a-vis the acceptance of X development. As a stone in the foundation that
underlines the Mac market, Pro Tools is important to all Mac users, including those
who will never even know of its existence. Bully for us.
