Each card mounted 18 DSP processors, manufactured by Texas Instruments, allowing an increased computational precision (<a href="/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format" title="Single-precision floating-point format">32-bit</a> <a href="/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic" title="Floating-point arithmetic">floating-point</a> resolution for audio processing and <a href="/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format" title="Double-precision floating-point format">64-bit</a> floating-point summing, versus the previous 24-bit and 48-bit <a href="/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic" title="Fixed-point arithmetic">fixed-point</a> resolution of the TDM engine),<a href="#cite_note-:15-4">[4]</a> thus improving dynamic range performance. Signal processing could be run on the embedded DSP, providing additional computational power and enabling near zero-latency for DSP-reliant plug-ins. Two <a href="/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array" title="Field-programmable gate array">FPGA</a> chips handled track playback, monitoring, and internal routing, providing a lower round trip latency. A second line of PCIe cards, called HD Native, provided low latency with a single FPGA chip but did not mount DSP (audio processing relied on the host system's CPU).<a href="#cite_note-:0-64">[64]</a> Round trip latency at 96 kHz was 0.7 ms for HDX and 1.7 ms for HD Native (with a 64-sample buffer).<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> To maintain performance consistency, HDX products were specified with a fixed maximum number of voices (each voice representing a monophonic channel). Each HDX card enabled 256 simultaneous voices at 44.1/48 kHz; voice count halved when the sample rate doubled (128 voices at 88.2/96 kHz, 64 voices at 176.4/192 kHz). Up to three HDX cards could be installed on a single system for a maximum of 768/384/192 total voices and for increased processing power. On Native systems, voice count was limited to 96/48/24 voices with the standard version of Pro Tools and 256/128/64 voices with Pro Tools HD software.<a href="#cite_note-:15-4">[4]</a> With Pro Tools 10, Avid deployed a new plug-in format for both Native and HDX systems called AAX (an acronym for Avid Audio eXtension).<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> AAX Native replaced RTAS plug-ins and AAX DSP, a specific format running on HDX systems, replaced TDM plug-ins. AAX was developed to provide the future implementation of 64-bit plug-ins, although 32-bit versions of AAX were still used in Pro Tools 10. TDM support was dropped with HDX,<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> while Pro Tools 10 would be the final release for Pro Tools | HD Process and Accel systems. Notable software features introduced with Pro Tools 10 were editable clip-based gain automation (Clip gain), the ability to load the session's audio data into RAM to improve transport responsiveness (Disk caching), quadrupled Automatic Delay Compensation length, audio fades processed in real-time, timeline length extended to 24 hours, support for 32-bit float audio and mixed audio formats within the session, and the addition of Avid Channel Strip plug-in (based on Euphonix System 5 console's channel strip, following Avid's acquisition of Euphonix in 2010).<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a><a href="#cite_note-:29-47">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Switch_to_64-bit_architecture_(2013)">Switch to 64-bit architecture (2013)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Pro_Tools&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Switch to 64-bit architecture (2013)">edit</a>]</div> Pro Tools 11, released in June 2013, switched from 32-bit to 64-bit software architecture with new audio and video engines, enabling the application and plug-ins to fully take advantage of system memory. The new audio engine (AAE) introduced support of offline bouncing and simultaneous mixdowns multiple sources; dynamic plug-in processing allowed to reduce CPU usage when active native plug-ins do not receive any input. Two separate buffers were used for playback and for monitoring of record-enabled or input-monitored tracks. The new video engine (AVE) improved performance and handling of multiple CPU cores. Support for HD Accel systems, legacy HD interfaces, TDM and 32-bit AAX plug-ins was dropped due to their incompatibility with 64-bit architecture.<a href="#cite_note-:19-13">[13]</a> A free starter edition providing the essential features of Pro Tools, called "First", was launched in 2015 and discontinued in December 2021 for being "unviable to continue on a technical level".<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Pro_Tools&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Features">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Protools9screen.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Protools9screen.png/220px-Protools9screen.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="162" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Protools9screen.png/330px-Protools9screen.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/47/Protools9screen.png 2x" data-file-width="367" data-file-height="271" /></a><figcaption>The timeline of Pro Tools 9 showing audio and MIDI tracks, running on <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Windows" title="Microsoft Windows">Windows</a></figcaption></figure> Pro Tools workflow is organized into two main windows: the timeline is shown in the Edit window, while the mixer is shown in the Mix window.

working on a studio device that could replace classic analog consoles and provide integration with Pro Tools. ProControl (1998) was the first Digidesign control surface, providing motorized, touch-sensitive faders, an analog <a href="/wiki/Control_room" title="Control room">control room</a> communication section, and connecting to the host computer via <a href="/wiki/Ethernet" title="Ethernet">Ethernet</a>. ProControl could be later expanded by adding up to five fader packs, each providing eight additional fader strips and controls.<a href="#cite_note-:25-38">[38]</a> Control 24 (2001) added 5.1 monitoring support and included 16 <a href="/wiki/Power_amplifier_classes#Class_A" title="Power amplifier classes">class A</a> preamps designed by <a href="/wiki/Focusrite" title="Focusrite">Focusrite</a>. Icon D-Control (2004) incorporated an HD Accel system and was developed for larger TV and film productions in mind.

They were integrated with Pro Tools along with the EuCon protocols. Avid S6 (2013) and Avid S3 (2014) control surfaces followed by merging the Icon and System 5 series.
