So when we were looking at developing a Native system for professional audio, we needed to facilitate a ‘round trip’: same quality as with HD, the feature set had to be the same, nothing left out. “However, they were relatively frustrated because those systems weren’t Pro Tools|HD. “Our established customer bases were using Pro Tools|HD, but they were also using LE systems or M-boxes for smaller tasks,” Foeckler continues. This year’s previous announcements of the new HD I/O Series line, along with the next-generation M-boxes, may be overshadowed by the new Native HD systems, which users have been adamantly requesting for years. ![]() Pro Tools|HD Native will be available on November 4, and represents the latest installment in Avid’s conscientious effort to become a company that actually listens to its customers.
