Digital Audio Workstation Software, or DAW Software is designed to allow users to record, edit, and produce their audio files. Historically, music was recorded using tapes and required very expensive equipment. Today, anybody with a computer can affordably record and produce his or her own music.
Avid Technologies, formerly known as Digidesign, is one of pioneers of DAW Software and their products are considered to be an industry standard for digital non-linear video and audio editing and are widely used in television shows and feature films. Avid’s flagship software, Pro Tools is widely used among professional producers, including Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Rick Rubin, and many more. It offers up to 64-bit multitrack audio recording and non-destructive editing.
During Winter NAMM 2015, Avid announced that they would be releasing Pro Tools 12, a notable feature being cloud collaboration. Users can now work and collaborate on projects while in other ends of the world. Musician’s friend is offering an exclusive special for owners of Pro Tools LE. Those who own the software can crossgrade to Pro Tools 11 today and receive the update to Pro Tools 12 when it is released and save $700 dollars compared to buying new. See more at our Pro Tools LE Crossgrade page.
