Mixing And Control Built-in control surface support for Baby HUI and MCU plus device specific profiles including Presonus FaderPort. Project track count unlimited (subject to system). Track Count Up to 512 remappable channels of audio input and output. It can even be used as a basic NLE with a convenient built-in DAW to sweeten the deal. On the practical side, advanced audio routing possibilities see things such as multichannel audio patching and routing to and from audio plugins, up-to 64 channel track widths, and Dolby Atmos support using the Dolby Atmos Renderer. This could be for a number of reasons, but factors such as its expansive, dynamic feature set and customisation, as well as rock solid performance and pain-free licencing certainly help its cause. This was confirmed in our recent survey when it came out as the second most used DAW for audio post. Things change, and simply put an increasing number of those working with video are using the platform. Some reading this might ask why REAPER is in this rundown at all, let alone near the top. Futhermore, over the years issues with the Avid Video Engine (long conversation) has led to some choosing a third party video playback solution for ADR tasks such as Video Sync from Non-Lethal Applications.

In his in-depth article, Damien Kearns talks about his workflow using DaVinci resolve to transcode video for playback in Pro Tools. Pro Tools’ ability to play back video is well-established, but despite this professionals frequently report the use of third party solutions to aid actions such as transcoding for optimal playback, or for synchronising playback with a second system.

Mixing And Control Deep automation of large mixes plus full integration with S6 and S4 control surfaces. Track Count Up to 2,046 voices/audio tracks and 64 video tracks. Certainly, Avid’s large ecosystem of networked storage and modular control surfaces designed specifically for large facilities has more recently pushed ahead where other DAWs’ support for the very largest of mixes begins to tail off.

Over this time its feature set for post professionals has sought to keep up with industry needs, with its ever-expanding counts of tracks, busses and groups being among them. Pro Tools’ association with post production workflows can be measured in decades, cementing its position as DAW grandee for working to picture as well as for music production.

Kicking off with the DAW that is well-known to most reading this, Pro Tools continues to enjoy the biggest slice of the Post Production market with 67% of respondents in our recent survey using it compared to the next nearest contenders. This can be useful for micro productions with reduced picture editing needs that require an emphasis on audio mixing. Added to that, the need for video playback with thousands of automation moves frequently makes the demand on the DAW for audio post production greater than that on even the largest music project.Ī subset of DAW video functionality can be the ability to import video for editing and export of a finished cut. While the tracks within a DAW audio post project can be distilled into groups of dialogue, music, and effects, the tracks within can number in the hundreds. While it’s entirely feasible for a picture editor to work exclusively in an NLE (non-linear editor), handling both picture and sound, limited audio functions in the NLE mean that these two sides of the same coin are handled separately by dedicated people in all but the smallest of productions.Īudio post in the dedicated DAW can handle tasks such as production sound replacement and of course the audio mix to picture itself. Video functionality in the DAW can be used in different ways, from composing and recording music to picture, to the audio post ADR and mixing known to most reading this. While recent statistics show Pro Tools’ continuing spot as the number one DAW in use for those recording and mixing to picture, here we list some of the video features that define four DAWs: Pro Tools, Studio One, Logic Pro & REAPER.
