And once again Pro Tools enters Avid the new round: The 2018 version is characterized by the implementation of the wishes of many users. So that the Fokus creative work can continue, improvements have been made to all corners and edges to optimize the workflow:

Track Presets

For example, time-saving track presets have been added that allow you to quickly call up favorite effect chains, edits, import criteria and other track settings with a single click without having to reset everything.

Pro Tools in "List" mode

Artists who work with MIDI will love retrospective MIDI recording, where Pro Tools simply "listens". Data is recorded in the background even if the Recording button is not pressed - perfect for improvised parts that may prove useful later.

Workflow improvements in every corner

Pro Tools 2018 also comes with MIDI editing enhancements - be it the slightest changes in transposition or trimming, the result is always an improved and simplified workflow.

cloud

The iLok - also here a new way was taken and above all another USB slot was exposed: With the iLok Cloud, all licenses can be stored online so that the stick does not permanently occupy a USB port. More space for more equipment!

Mix overview with EQ display

For all those who long for more control when mixing: EQ curves are now also displayed in the Mix window, so settings, automations and their effects can be followed in real time. In addition, pre-fader sends and automation lines get their own colors for a better overview.

Working together made easy

Projects can be opened cloud-based and shared with friends. Perfect for musicians who want to bring ideas together across distances.

That and much more now in the Pro Tools 2018 version!
