Avid has announced an upgrade to its flagship audio workstation, sharing details of the upcoming release of Pro Tools 11. The latest version of the DAW is said to feature a “newly designed architecture [that] turbo-charges production with more plug-in processing and the ability to run more virtual instruments.” Some of the software’s key features include a redesigned audio engine with 64-bit architecture, the ability of offline bouncing, expanded metering capabilities, and more. A brief video preview of Pro Tools 11 can be watched below, and a much more comprehensive look at the forthcoming program—clocking in at over 40 minutes—can be viewed here.
