Pro Tools 9 marks the biggest change in the industry standard audio recording software for several years. Avid Pro Tools 9 is now an open platform piece of software that opens up a huge number of creative recording possibilities and offers a stable platform that audio engineers the world over rely on every day to record the world's greatest musicians and movie soundtracks.
The one thing that most people will now love about Pro Tools is that you can now use any interface that you want with Pro Tools 9 software! That includes all the latest Avid Interfaces and any core audio or ASIO enabled interface (so almost anything on the market). Pro tools 9 records up to 32 simultaneous channels, and can have up to 128 tracks as standard (compared to 48 in Pro Tools 8).
What's more, for mobile production, Pro Tools 9 allows you to work anywhere - you don't need any interface at all for the software to run, so you can create music with your internal sound hardware.
Other long awaited developments to Pro Tools include ADC (automatic delay compensation), multitrack beat detective, open format (e.g. OMF) support and Digibase Pro. These are all features that come as standard with PT9.
Throw in 70 professional sound-processing plug-ins, virtual instruments, and effects, plus a massive library of high-quality audio loops, and you have a limitless tool with which to create, shape and realise your musical ideas from the first riff to the final production.

Open yourself to the possibilities. Pro Tools 9 redefines the world's most popular, most advanced music and audio production platform with a completely re-architected, open version of Pro Tools software, giving you what you asked for-and so much more.
