Pro Tools

Digidesign's Pro Tools can be as simple as an Mbox or as complicated as an ICON with a Pro Tools HD3 system.

We have been selling Digidesign since the beginning of Pro Tools in the early 90s so we know how to set every system up for you.

ICON D-Control

The first truly integrated console solution of its kind, ICON redefines audio production possibilities by enabling operators to accomplish every aspect of a project — mixing, recording, editing, and processing, complete with integrated video and delivery — within a single, fully integrated environment.

Unlike typical digital consoles, ICON is a completely custom-configurable audio production environment. Options include expandable analog and digital I/O, integrated remote mic preamps, industry-leading Digidesign Development Partner effects processing plug-ins and software options, seamless Avid picture support, and comprehensive synchronization and machine control options.

In addition to supporting mixes up to 24-bit/192 kHz in 7.1 surround, the integrated console features touch-sensitive controls, a wide range of visual mixing feedback, dedicated center section and per-channel control over all processing functions and routing, global automation capabilities, and full studio and control room monitoring.

Although ICON represents one of the world's most sophisticated console systems, its component connectivity is simple and straightforward. Installation is rapid; and because of ICON's modular, expandable design, the entire environment can be easily reconfigured at any time. Moreover, ICON is backed by industry-standard Pro Tools recording and editing software — so every element of a session is recallable, enabling operators to switch out even the most complex projects in minutes.
