Avid Delivers Pro Tools Innovation with Track Markers and Expanded Immersive Mixing Workflows
June 08 2023 - 12:35PM
Delivering on some of the most requested features from both music
and audio post customers, Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced an
update for its Pro Tools® software that introduces track markers,
expanded immersive mixing capabilities, and better interoperability
with Media Composer® sessions. This will include the ability to
navigate and communicate ideas with markers at the track level. The
release also improves user experience with more intuitive MIDI
tools and guided I/O setup, as well as surround monitoring
capabilities to the Pro Tools | Carbon™ interface.
Pro Tools 2023.6 introduces track markers that enable music and
audio post users to install points on a track, performance notes,
dialogue and lyric references and edit comments. Customers can use
markers to give detailed, color-coded comments within a track to
speed navigation and improve arrangement, mixing, and collaboration
workflows. Track markers also offer improved interoperability and
compatibility with Media Composer when exporting Pro Tools
sessions.
Pro Tools now also features new track widths up to 9.1.6 to
support Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats including MPEG-H.
These new track widths expand the formats that can be mixed and
monitored, but they also enable more advanced 3D plugin processing.
Users can now also import and export higher quality Dolby Atmos
mixes with 96 kHz ADM file support. New track widths offer
increased resolution for better spatial accuracy for modern gaming
engines and VR workflows with support for up to 7th order
Ambisonics.
This release continues to improve upon Pro Tools user experience
with several new updates. Selecting and configuring the audio
hardware is the most fundamental step in setting up a system and
Pro Tools now streamlines the process with a guided setup if no
device is configured, helping users get up and running faster. The
Event Operations window has also been redesigned to enable the
adjustment of various MIDI properties like timing, velocity, and
transposition. The award-winning Pro Tools | Carbon audio interface
also sees an update in this Pro Tools release with the addition of
surround support. Now supporting configurations from 5.1 to 7.1.2,
the HDX DSP-accelerated system becomes even more capable of
handling the most demanding audio workflows.
“With this update to Pro Tools, we show our commitment to
delivering continuous value to our Pro Tools offerings and
systems,” says Francois Quereuil, Vice President, Product
Management for Audio and Music Solutions, Avid. “We are delighted
to deliver on many often-requested features to continue to improve
Pro Tools every quarter for customers who depend on it.”
Pro Tools 2023.6 is now available to all Pro Tools customers on
an active subscription or perpetual license with a current Software
Update + Support Plan, as well as all Pro Tools Intro users. Please
