Powered by its MediaCentral Platform, Avid has announced the fully cloud-enabled Pro Tools 12.7.
The system promises new music creation workflows, plus improvements in artists’ connection and collaboration anywhere in the world via the cloud. Pro Tools 12.7 is the seventh consecutive quarterly Pro Tools release since Avid introduced Avid All Access Plans and Cloud Subscriptions.
‘With music creation tools being so accessible, there’s more independent talent competing to be heard, so artists and producers need a creative edge to break through,’ says Tim Claman, VP of Platform & Solutions. ‘With this latest version of Pro Tools, we’re continuing to deliver innovations that give our preeminent community of customers – from artists, songwriters, musicians and producers to sound designers, editors and mixers – the tools they need to create without bounds and cut through the noise in a crowded market.’
Pro Tools 12.7 dramatically improves searching and creative exploration of loop and sound effect libraries with Soundbase. This tag-based search complements the existing Workspace Browser by enabling users to browse content using the standard metadata tags embedded in nearly every sound library. Libraries can be searched by instrument, genre, tempo, key, time signature or custom tags, and content auditioned in sync with a project.
To complement the Soundbase capabilities, Pro Tools 12.7 comes with a 2GB high-quality sample library from Loopmasters. The sample library features a newly curated selection of content created by some of the industry’s leading producers and sound designers, and is thoroughly tagged for easy browsing in Soundbase.
Revision History enables artists and audio professionals to create and manage multiple versions of projects, as well as backups, media and descriptive project metadata, all powered by the cloud. This makes it easy to explore new versions of a song or soundtrack, make notes, share ideas with others, and quickly jump back to any previous state from anywhere.
Pro Tools 12.7 is available now with flexible use models and licencing options, including cloud-based subscriptions or traditional licence options.
