Digidesign Introduces Pro Tools 7.3

Digidesign is excited to introduce Pro Tools® 7.3 software, a powerful new Pro Tools release with an array of exciting new features and speed enhancements for Pro Tools|HD®, Pro Tools LE™, and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems. With new music composition tools, customizable user enhancements, and improved post production workflows, Pro Tools 7.3 software is an essential upgrade for Pro Tools users composing music or mixing audio for post production.

Pro Tools 7.3 software includes new features for music creation such as Dynamic Transport mode, which allows playback to operate independently of the current selection, and the Loop Trim tool, which allows users to easily turn audio or MIDI regions into loops. New key signature features, loop preview options, and click track features also streamline music composition. Pro Tools 7.3 software also bridges Pro Tools with Sibelius® notation software (sold separately) with a new "Send to Sibelius" menu command, enabling composers and educators to conveniently export entire Pro Tools MIDI compositions or individual tracks to Sibelius to print arrangements or instrumental parts.

User customization and speed-enhancing features also abound. The new Window Configurations feature allows users to store and recall up to 99 window layouts, while memory locations, Zoom Toggle preferences, and track heights are all user-customizable. For efficiency, users can make many changes to their mixing configurations without manually stopping and restarting playback, and new drag-and-drop plug-in settings functionality allows for instant plug-in opening or settings recall. And for post professionals working with Pro Tools LE 7.3 software, the DV Toolkit™ 2 option adds new QuickTime video editing and export features, as well as integrated multi-channel field audio matching.
