The company is releasing the software in the next few months for free with “in app purchases” options giving users the capability of try it out before purchasing.
Pro Tools is the audio workstation that redefined the music and post-production industries, providing everything needed to create high-caliber audio mixes, said Chris Gahagan, senior vice president of Products and Technology at Avid. With Pro Tools | First, we’ve taken the most powerful, proven, and trusted DAW and streamlined it into a version that’s available to everyone for free, whether they dream of a career in music and are just starting out, or are more experienced and want to give Pro Tools a try. Now users of all levels can start off their musical journey on the right path.
The free will be limited to a maximum of four track inputs instead of eight and will support 3 projects, in addition to other limitations like only 21 audio effect plugins instead of the full package on the paid version.
