Clearly, for home/project studio needs, a standard computer interface like Thunderbolt/USB is the preferred option (all using the same USB Type C connectors and great bus-powered options), while larger networked studios and productions will benefit from Ethernet-based solutions, which are predominantly Dante or AES67/Ravenna-based for the audio part of that universe.
#ALTERNATIVES TO PRO TOOLS FOR MAC DRIVERS#
With the recording, studio and broadcast/media production market now largely benefiting from the latest AoIP efforts (ST2110/AES67) and Thunderbolt 3 solutions - converging to Thunderbolt/USB4 in 2021 - the industry is basically allowing all manufacturers of audio interfaces to easily support any of the available software DAWs (or vice-versa), thanks to direct operating system support on Mac and generic drivers on Windows. Avid’s audio interfaces for Pro Tools, including the latest Pro Tools MTRX Studio unveiled at NAMM 2020, at least combined Avid's required proprietary DigiLink interface for ProTools, with Dante, ADAT and other integration options, as well as direct support for EuCon remote control (used in all of Avid's control surfaces). The previous hardware options for Pro Tools, including those announced just at the start of 2020, relied on the best audio industry partners Avid could engage with, from Apogee to Sonnet Technologies, and Digital Audio Denmark (DAD), which was the chosen supplier for its most recent audio interfaces.
So, there's essentially the new Carbon audio interface.
#ALTERNATIVES TO PRO TOOLS FOR MAC PLUS#
For audio post professionals, Pro Tools 2020 includes native integration to export ADM files for Dolby Atmos, a new space clips function that lets you arrange a multitude of clips in a fraction of the time, and it reintroduces the ability to bounce sessions to QuickTime formats in macOS Catalina."Ĭonsidering the recent introduction of Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve 17, which runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, and inclusively supports already the latest macOS Big Sur release - and is fully ready to support and leverage the latest Mac Silicon M1 processors - plus the fact that 2020 is not exactly a reference you want to keep in consumer’s minds in 2021 with a product released in November, it seems clear that software was not the focus for Avid. It also provides new ways to create and advance ideas with the ability to analyze audio and render it as MIDI notes. As Avid explains, this comes with Pro Tools 2020.11, which "introduces a new dramatic dark themed UI that’s sleek, inspiring, and easier on the eyes - especially in lower light conditions. In fact, it is a dedicated bundle of an hardware interface and software.
Well, to be fair, Pro Tools Carbon is not only a new audio interface.
