That is the question for today’s digital content producers from 2011 for my philosophy on Digital Rights Management and piracy.) I love the fact that no iLok is required with Pro Tools First, for the same reason that I chose not to use any DRM in my ebooks.

Hardware supportĪpparently, Pro Tools First is based on the professional version of Pro Tools 12, since on the Mac, Pro Tools First already officially supports up to Yosemite 10.10.2, while the professional version of Pro Tools 11 only is officially supported up until Yosemite 10.10.1. If you really need it, Pro Tools First can even aim even higher to 96 kHz/32-bit, but that capability depends on your connected hardware.Īnybody who thought that s/he could make fun of Pro Tools First’s audio quality -or video sampling rate compatibility- may now very quietly leave the room, maintaining Pro Tools First’s potential noise floor of zero dB □ Pro Tools First’s audio quality is as good -or as bad- as the hardware you connect to it. ![]() Beyond that video standard, Pro Tools First can aim low by supporting 44.1 kHz/16-bit for 1980s-ish projects still destined to the waining compact disk (CD) and -in the short term- audiobooks (although I expect audiobooks to be upgraded to 48 kHz soon).

However, there are many more segments of users that would be interested in a free audio editor that supports up to 16 tracks of 48 kHz/24-bit audio (or actually even beyond that, as you’ll read a little ahead), and accepts up to 4 simultaneous input sources. If you read Avid’s promotional materials or see the following video, you’ll quickly realize that Avid is targeting aspiring musicians with its Pro Tools First.
