At the 2018 NAMM show, Avid announced the release of Pro Tools 2018, designed to enhance the creative experience and accelerate workflows for greater collaboration with new features that include track presets, retrospective MIDI record, MIDI editing enhancements, playlist comping enhancements, and more.
In direct response to customer feedback and building on recent releases, Pro Tools 2018 is intended to focus more on the creative process and less on laborious tasks. The new retrospective MIDI record feature helps ensure that users will never lose a performance, while shortcuts to quickly transpose, trim notes and edit velocities make music creation quicker and easier.
“With Pro Tools 2018 musicians can create at the speed of their inspiration and turn ideas into music,” states Dana Ruzicka, chief product ifficer, Avid. “Avid product releases are centered around feedback from our community of professional and aspiring musicians, and with Avid’s creative ecosystem, they can collaborate and create music in Pro Tools more fluidly than ever before.”
