• Pro Tools|HD Native

Advanced Music and Post-Production Core System

Overview

Create professional-quality, richly detailed productions, quickly and easily, with the lowest latency of any host-based DAW. With Pro Tools|HD Native—a new generation of Pro Tools HD core system that harnesses the power of your computer—you get the full Pro Tools HD software feature set, support for up to 64 channels of I/O, robust stability, and the absolute best performance possible on the host.

Unlike USB- or FireWire-based DAWs, which are inherently prone to latency, Pro Tools|HD Native employs a high-speed PCIe core card, greatly improving your recording experience. By eliminating distracting latency and increasing your I/O capabilities, you get a professional native solution that meets the highest audio standards. Combine it with one or more Pro Tools HD Series interfaces (such as HD OMNI or HD I/O, sold separately) to achieve pristine audio clarity. Whether you create music or sound for picture, equip yourself with the tools you need to easily compose, record, edit, and mix with great speed and reliability—and hear what you’ve been missing.
