Avid and Focusrite have collaborated over Red 4Pre and Red 8Pre interfaces and Pro Tools HD 12.6 (and up) with a free Pro Tools DigiLink I/O Licence for their iLok.
To download the license, customers register a Red 4Pre or Red 8Pre interface and follow the link to the Avid website, then create/sign-in to an Avid Master Account, create/select their iLok account and deposit their Pro Tools DigiLink I/O Licence. Once a Red 4Pre or Red 8Pre is registered, they have four weeks to access the Pro Tools DigiLink I/O Licence.
This offer follows the availability of Red 8Pre, which Focusrite believes to be ‘one of the most compatible audio interfaces of all time’. The Red 8Pre includes two front-panel high-headroom instrument inputs, dual Thunderbolt 2, dual Pro Tools HD DigiLink and Dante network audio connectivity. In addition, 64 inputs and 64 outputs (a total of 16 analogue inputs and 18 analogue outputs) and eight of Focusrite’s digitally controlled mic preamps answer the need for more microphone inputs and a higher I/O count.
The latest feature to be added to Focusrite Control for Red 8Pre (coming to Red 4Pre) is the Input Routing tab. This allows for the default channel routing table to be rearranged so that all hardware input signals required can be accessed and sent to a DAW in a user-defined order.
