Pro-Tools is a hard disc editing and recording system manufactured
by DigiDesign and Avid Technology.
It's designed for the Power PC or Apple Mac and the latest version
(4) has all sorts of cool sound manipulation facilities - like Time
Squeeze (where you can compress or expand sound without changing
pitch) and EQ, reverb, delay, pitch-shift etc.
The system samples sound and you can cut and paste it into regions,
duplicate, loop, etc. It's completely upgradable to over 48 tracks,
and is the simplest of the workstations to use, and has the best
graphic user interface (GUI). Many other companies make what they
call "plug-ins" (reverb, amp simulation etc.) and it contains a
virtual mixer window as well, which can automate every function
completely, from EQ to pan to level.
It's the most popular industrial tool currently in use in studios
around the world.
Anybody who's rich enough to afford it will never want for anything
else. Good reading : Sound on Sound magazine (British publication).
