What’s New in Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD 10.08
Changes to Pro Tools
Nomenclature and Avid
Rebranding
To ensure optimal compatibility between
Pro Tools and Media Composer, the following
nomenclature changes have been made to
Pro Tools software.
Additionally, “Digidesign” has been replaced
with “Avid” for all file names and file path
names.
New Avid Plug-Ins Folder Location
During installation, Pro Tools 10 creates an
Avid Plug-Ins directory (/Avid/Audio/
Plug-Ins/) to accommodate AAX plug-ins (such
as Avid Channel Strip and Avid Down Mixer).
Pro Tools 10 maintains the Digidesign Plug-Ins
folder (/Digidesign/Plug-Ins/) in order to ac-
commodate legacy plug-ins and third-party
plug-in installers.
