This means that what will presumably be called Pro Tools 11 won't offer support for Pro Tools HD Accel systems with the old HD Core, Process or Accel cards, nor the older blue-and-silver interfaces. One of the reasons I would describe Pro Tools 10 as a watershed release is that, in Avid parlance, it will be the last 'feature release” of Pro Tools to support the now suddenly 'legacy' HD hardware. And, if this wasn't already enough for existing users to consider, Avid are also taking the opportunity to encourage the adoption of various support and maintenance packages, both new and existing, alongside more traditional upgrade options. In addition to offering a host of new features, including a completely new plug-in format, Pro Tools 10 also supports HDX, the long-anticipated DSP hardware successor to HD.
Pro Tools 10 is a watershed release for Avid's industry-standard music and audio creation system. Notice the new Mod Delay III plug-in and the additional disk cache meters in the System Usage window. With Pro Tools now catering for such a wide range of users, can the latest version provide both value and satisfaction for everyone?
