New in Pro Tools 8
With its robust Sibelius underpinnings, Pro Tools 8 offers a new Score Editor window that provides a wide range of standard notational tools for composing music. Write parts on a single staff (choose treble, alto, tenor, or bass clef) or grand staff. Place and edit notes in real time, and edit the meter, key signature, and more at whim. Add user-defined chord symbols (Dm7, G, and so on) and chord diagrams (for guitarists) to your sessions. Transcribe MIDI parts in real time. Print your score in its entirety or in parts. Even export sessions as Sibelius (.sib) files for further finessing in Sibelius.
Gain extensive MIDI editing power with the new MIDI Editor window in Pro Tools 8 software, which can display MIDI and automation data for Instrument, MIDI, and Auxiliary Input tracks. Separate, consolidate, and mute MIDI notes, scrub and shuttle through parts, audition velocity changes, and play MIDI notes when tabbing. View MIDI parameters simultaneously (such as velocity, volume, and pan) and get quick access through multiple Automation and Controller lanes. Edit an entire MIDI Region Group. Even watch your musical handiwork scroll by during playback in real time in Notation or Piano Roll view.
While Pro Tools LE and M-Powered 8 software are more powerful than ever before, the optional new optional Music Production Toolkit 2 take it even a step further, empowering you with a wealth of music creation tools, features, and plug-ins (for serious musicians and music producers) and you can createto develop huge, complex mixes, with up to 64 simultaneous mono or stereo audio tracks.
Creative MIDI and Compositional Tools
From sketchpad songwriting to the final production, Pro Tools offers a wealth of tools for the creative composer — all in a single, comprehensive environment.
Pro Tools is the undisputed leader in audio editing and production, and its MIDI composition and sequencing features are equally as innovative. With intuitive editing views and techniques, you can create and manipulate MIDI alongside audio with ease using many of the same tools. You can also use the same automation and plug-in processing options on both Audio and Instrument tracks.
Use the Loop Trim tool to turn any audio or MIDI region into a loop instantly; Pro Tools always creates MIDI regions on bar boundaries to help with looping and arrangement. Click on the keyboard in a MIDI or Instrument track to quickly select all of the same-pitched notes of your performance for fast editing.
Pro Tools also provides a Key Signature ruler that lets you easily add, edit, move, and delete key signatures. You can specify major or minor, transpose MIDI pitches diatonically or chromatically, and even constrain pitches to a key.
ReWire Integration
Pro Tools supports your favorite ReWire-compatible applications, allowing you to integrate your work right into your Pro Tools mixes. Pro Tools software accepts MIDI controller data directly from ReWire applications for recording to a Pro Tools MIDI or Instrument track, allowing for a synergy that augments your creation possibilities.
