You must set up accounts with both Avid and iLok to handle the license. It allows only three concurrent projects and limits tracks to 16, but is adequate for most home projects and a great way to kick the tires of the industry standard.
Protools 12 cons pro#
Besides no longer restricting your choices in hardware, Avid now offers a free version of Pro Tools called First. In the interim, there have been major changes to the way the program is marketed and sold. It does require and iLok account and Internet acces. Pro Tools First offers enough power for most home studio projects, and is free for up to three simultaneous projects. Avid still markets the high-end hardware which is quite nice-sounding, but it’s no longer joined at the hip with the software. Prior to version 9, you needed an M-Powered consumer audio interface that was limited to 48kHz, or expensive, proprietary hardware if you wanted to record at bit rates beyond that. Pro Tools fell behind in the home creative audio market not so much because of creative lacks, but restrictive marketing practices. However, over the years, Pro Tools has acquired MIDI and sequencing abilities, as well as notation, so it’s a more than competent tool for creative purposes. In fact, the program’s in-line editing (editing done right on the track rather than a separate window) makes it a favorite of many. That’s its bread and butter and it’s very intuitive for traditional studio engineers. Since its inception, Pro Tools’s outstanding mixing board mimicry has made it the pro’s choice for upscale audio recording and manipulation-the recording industry’s DAW, as it were.
