Pro tools 9 mac demo7/25/2023 ![]() It is a free version of Pro Tools that I feel sure many people will use in some way or other, but sadly (and I really mean that) the likelihood of Pro Tools First converting people to Pro Tools in the kind of numbers Avid needs has been scuppered. One can't help feel that the Avid Everywhere vision has become a restricting dogma that has in turn, crippled Pro Tools First. Even if this appears as a cloud feature then it's still not going to attract anywhere near as many to using it as it could have simply by sharing the files. “So in conclusion Pro Tools First had the potential to get a whole new generation of users on Pro Tools and start a recording journey with Avid, but these restrictions, especially the session interchange one make that far less likely. Here’s some of the conclusion of our Pro Tools First review. We were never enamoured by Pro Tools First, you can read our review of it here. Several years later Pro Tools Free was discountinued and in 2015 a new version was announced, Pro Tools First. It was very popular, in fact many members of the Expert team started out using Pro Tools Free before investing in paid for Pro Tools versions. Pro Tools Free was discontinued in 2003 when Pro Tools moved to Mac OS X and Windows XP. There wasn’t a Pro Tools demo of the full version because you could download Pro Tools Free and install it on your Mac OS 9 or Windows 98 computer. It worked with 16-bit or 24-bit sessions of audio, had RTAS support and worked with any interface, not just Digidesign interfaces. ![]() ![]() This was a trimmed down version of Pro Tools 5 LE that let you record up to 8 audio tracks, 48 MIDI tracks, up to 5 inserts and 5 sends per track and 16 busses to route to. A free version of Pro Tools? It’s not a new idea, in the early 2000s Digidesign launched a copy of Pro Tools, called Pro Tools Free. ![]()
