Specifications

To help you organize larger Pro Tools sessions a file management
utility called DigiBase is similar to Mac’s Finder or Windows’
Explorer, enabling you to manage all of the files on your system.
◆ DigiBase allows you to view complete file information including
duration, time stamps,along with two user comments fields.
◆ Display layouts can be customized to focus exclusively on the
information you need.
◆ You can also audition files and view their waveform thumbnails before
importing into Pro Tools, regardless of file format or sample rate.
◆ When you’ve determined a selection, the one-step drag-and-drop
process from DigiBase to your session timeline includes automatic file
copy and conversion, guaranteeing compatibility with your project.
◆ Tasks such as copying, conversion,and fade creation are handled in
the background so that you can continue to record and edit without
interruption. A new Task Manager feature also enables users to
monitor and manage background processes.

◆ You can quickly and easily create crossfades
between two adjacent audio regions to smoothing
transitions between regions and prevent pops,
clicks, or sudden changes in sound.
◆ The crossfade duration, position, and shape are all
user-definable.
◆ The Fades dialog window allows you to select,
view, and manipulate the curves used to perform
the crossfade.Different volume curves can be
assigned to the fade-out and fade-in portions of
crossfades.
◆ You can also preview audition the crossfade from
within the Fade dialog.
◆ The Strip Silence window allows you to
automatically divide a selected audio
file or region by removing the areas of
silence from a selection.This can be
useful for quantizing individual audio
events to musical values or cueing
sound effects to SMPTE locations.
◆ Strip Threshold which sets the
amplitude threshold for Strip Silence.
Audio falling below this threshold is
considered silence and removed.

ReWire Support
◆ Support for Propellerhead’s ReWire tech-
nology provides real-time streaming of 24-
bit audio and MIDI between ReWire com-
patible software synthesizers,samplers, and
other host-based instruments, with sample
accurate synchronization and common
transport functionality. ReWire-enabled
instruments can be be directly routed into
the Pro Tools mixer where they can be
integrated with your session and access
additional mixing and processing functions.
Digidesign Core Audio Driver
(Mac OS X)
◆ The Digidesign Core Audio driver allows
third-party applications supporting the
Apple Core Audio standard to utilize a Pro
To ols system for audio input and output.
Depending on the hardware and applica-
tion, you can record and playback multiple
channels of 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz.
◆ A Digidesign MIDI I/O driver is available
for users of the Digidesign MIDI I/O.
Digidesign ASIO Driver
(Windows XP)
◆ The Digidesign ASIO Driver is a multi-
channel, multimedia sound driver that
allows third-party audio programs which
support the ASIO standard to record and
play back using Windows XP Professional
or Home.
Crossfades
◆ Minimum Strip Duration Sets the
minimum duration (from 0 to 10,000 ms)
that the material below the threshold must
last to be considered silence.
◆ Region Start Pad and Region End Pad
specifies a time value to be added to the
beginning and end of each new region
created with Strip Silence. This is useful for
preserving nuances that fall below the
threshold, such as the breath before a vocal
phrase, or a finger slide on a guitar.
