Avid Introduces New Pro Tools Subscription-Only Options for Music Creators and Studios

Avid announced that its leading audio production software Pro Tools is now available to every segment of the music industry with three subscription-only offerings starting at $9.99/month: Pro Tools Artist for aspiring music creators, Pro Tools Studio for serious audio engineers and music producers, and Pro Tools Flex, a subscription bundle for professional audio post and music facilities. These products build on the current Pro Tools product lineup with significant new capabilities and content, including new virtual instruments and strategic partner solutions.

PreSonus has released Studio One 5.5, a major update to its acclaimed recording and production software (DAW) and the first software release to come out from the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based company since the acquisition by Fender. Studio One 5.5 is an important tool for the company's strategy, and adds improvements for production, performance, and especially mastering. The first and still only DAW with a fully-integrated mastering environment, Studio One 5.5’s Project Page is now even more powerful.

Prism Sound’s long history of developing high quality studio interfaces and conversion products has reached new heights with the launch of the ADA-128 – a modular audio conversion system offering up to 128 channels of 32-bit A/D and D/A conversion at sample rates of up to 768kHz. According to the British company, which is now part of the Audio Squadron group of companies, managed by US based Tracktion, this new modular system brings new levels of flexibility to the professional audio market.
