Burlington, MA (October 12, 2022)—The draw of a free, basic edition of Avid’s venerable DAW has returned with the introduction of Pro Tools Intro. The free download is aimed at new users, providing tools to aid media and music creation while introducing them to the Pro Tools way of doing things.
While Pro Tools Intro is a stand-alone application, files created in it can be migrated to more powerful Pro Tools subscription tiers as users’ needs and skills progress. In the meantime, the new edition offers a variety of MIDI tools and core effect and instrument plug-ins, as well as educational support in the form of instructional videos, webinars, online community forums and other resources
Dynamics and EQ plug-ins included with the software include BF-76, Channel Strip, Dynamics III Compressor/Limiter, Dynamics III De-Esser, Dynamics III Expander/Gate, EQ III 1-Band and EQ III 7-Band.
