Extensive Plug-in Collection
The Music Production Toolkit includes a host of powerful plug-ins that are ideal for creating and producing music.
Hybrid
Developed by Digidesign’s Advanced Instrument
Research group, Hybrid is a high-defi nition synthesizer that combines
the warmth of legendary analog synths (using a staggering 23 filter
types) and twenty-fi rst century analog and digital capabilities,
including wavetable synthesis, onboard effects, and more. The result is
the best of both worlds—a virtual instrument with a full set of
precisely adjustable parameters that can sound like the synth you
remember or like something no one has ever heard before.
TL Space Native Edition
From dense plate reverbs and springs to
chambers, rooms, and large concert halls, the TL Space™ convolution
reverb delivers the pristine sound of real reverberant spaces with the
familiar controls used in high-end hardware reverb units. By combining
sampled acoustics and advanced algorithms, TL Space provides stunning
realism with full control of reverb parameters in mono and stereo
formats, all from directly within the Pro Tools environment. TL Space
includes a comprehensive library of reverb and effect impulses and
supports a range of common impulse formats so you can add impulses
easily.
Smack! LE
Smack!™ LE is a professional compressor/
limiter plug-in designed for anyone who requires a great-sounding, fl
exible, and easy-to-use compression tool for music or any other type of
audio material. Choose from three compression modes, select unique
compression ratios, and add subtle, analogsounding harmonic distortion
to warm your tones or more seriously “distress” your audio.
SoundReplacer
Replace that boxy kick drum or tighten up a
flabby snare by mixing or swapping the existing audio track with new
samples from your sound library. With SoundReplacer™, you can retain
the original feel by matching the timing and automatically adjusting
the dynamics of the replacement sound to correspond with the changing
levels of the original performance.
DINR LE
DINR™ LE, an AudioSuite™-only version of the
original, award-winning DINR TDM plug-in, effectively reduces unwanted
noise—including tape hiss, guitar-amp buzz, and air conditioner
rumble—for cleaner audio. DINR analyzes and subtracts noise entirely
within the digital realm so the results can be virtually free of side
effects.
Multi-Track Beat Detective
Both Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered
software include Beat Detective LE, a powerful tool that allows you to
perform automatic groove analysis and correction on mono or stereo
tracks. But with this Toolkit, you get time—a major time-saving
capability previously available only with Pro Tools HD software. Use
this special version of Beat Detective on a multi-tracked drum
performance or almost any combination of drum, bass, rhythm guitar, or
other recorded tracks. Quickly tighten up a drum performance by using
Beat Detective to automatically slice up the recording by beats. Then
quantize the audio as easily as you would a MIDI track. Or completely
change the feel of a recording by applying your favorite groove
template. You can also use Beat Detective to extract a recording’s
feel, which you can then apply to other tracks. This version of Beat
Detective also supports Collection mode, which makes trigger detection
across multiple tracks easy by letting you analyze and detect triggers
on tracks individually and add only the triggers you choose to the
overall collection. For songwriters, composers, and remix artists, this
multi-track version of Beat Detective is indispensable for rapidly
changing the tempo of several recorded tracks and smoothing out the
spaces between beats easily and automatically.
More Audio Tracks
The Music Production Toolkit also enables you
to expand your Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools MPowered system to up to 48
mono or 48 stereo tracks at up to 96 kHz to create larger, more complex
mixes. Whether you want to build a chorus of layered vocal parts, a
symphony of electronic beats, or the meanest distorted power-chord
chorus on the planet, the Music Production Toolkit gives you the tracks
you need to achieve your goal. With support for up to 96 kHz (using a
96 kHz– compatible interface), you can capture and work with 48 mono or
stereo tracks in full fi delity. It will be easier than ever to
transfer large sessions from Pro Tools|HD® systems to Pro Tools LE and
Pro Tools M-Powered systems.
Pro Tools MP3 Option
By including the Pro Tools MP3 Option, the
Music Production Toolkit makes it easy to listen to a new mix on a
portable device or quickly share it with someone else. Bounce a mix to
a high-quality MP3 fi le so you and your bandmates can check it out on
portable music players. Or export your fi nal mix to MP3 so you can
upload it to your website and make it instantly available to fans. With
a full range of conversion options, the Pro Tools MP3 Option gives you
a simple way to bounce mixes directly to MP3 without having to use
another application.
Turbocharge Your Pro Tools System
The Music Production Toolkit makes it easy to
significantly expand the creative power of your Pro Tools LE or Pro
Tools M-Powered system without having to spend a lot of money. With a
host of plug-ins built for composing, editing, and mixing, a
multi-track version of Beat Detective, support for 48 mono or 48 stereo
high-resolution tracks, and a simple way to bounce mixes in MP3 format,
the Music Production Toolkit gives you the tools you need to realize
your creative vision.
