Avid’s Pro Tools is the industry standard in Professional Recording, Music And Post Production.
It deserves a dedicated hardware platform, This is it - The Pro Tools PC

Designed and built from the ground up for Pro Tools. Drawing from over 30 years of industry experience. The Pro Tools PC combines the talents of the world’s best Audio Computer manufacturing and Pro Tools support specialists on the Windows Operating system environment. There has never been a machine so focused on providing the perfect Pro Tools experience.

 

Not All Computers Are Created Equal

 

Why Does Pro Tools Need A Dedicated PC?

Pro Tools as a piece of software should be able to run on any compatible computer – and it can. However your Pro Tools experience relies on the computer being able to handle very complex and resource heavy functions, that are far beyond what it has to accomplish when running Word or surfing the Internet. Recording, mixing and processing multiple tracks of high definition audio, while generating sounds in response to virtual instruments is no easy task and draws on all elements of a computer system, not only this but Pro Tools has traditionally been extra picky about the specific system design setup and integration that even a system that works fine for some other DAW's still wont cut the grade for a Pro Tools rig. You probably already know this, which is why you’re here. Audio PC manufacturers exist because people have trouble running audio software on regular computers. User groups and forums exists because people have trouble running Pro Tools on regular computers. The Pro Tools PC settles the issue once and for all. Nobody can promise complete perfection – these are computers after all – but we can provide a system that’s been designed, built and tested at every stage with Pro Tools in mind supported by professional people who use and support these systems and software every day.

The Pro Tools PC Has Evolved To Offer A Choice Of Cores For More Native Processing

As technology changes and improves The Pro Tools PC is able to take advantage of the amazing power within Intel’s increasing number of processor cores. Our standard 4-Core Hyperthreaded i7 system (4 cores / 8 threads) has been our benchmark and the system by which all others are measured, but now we can also offer a super efficient cooler and quiet entry level i5 system at a killer price dont be fooled by the i5 name this system is no slouch and will provide plenty of power on tap for songwriter and project studio rigs.

Above those models we can offer even more processing power in our 6-Core (12 threads) ,  8-Core (16 threads) and 10-Core (20 threads) systems for increased Plug-in and Virtual Instrument counts the power of these machines is phenomenal , the 6 core machine particularly hits a sweet spot of performance vs price.
And for total unadulterated brute power we now have multi-processor systems that allow for 12, 16, 20 and 24 physical cores for dealing with the most intense sessions and elaborate compositions without compromise. In every Pro Tools PC the low latency performance, reliability and stability is engineered to the same high standards, it’s purely the ceiling that is raised. To access more cores we have integrated new motherboards and so each system varies in the exact features they carry. Here’s a quick comparison of the different systems spec's.

Rack it up - For Perfect Studio Integration

You have to love that rack mount chassis. Perfect for a studio rack. It’s not too deep like most server style cases, only about 17″ (42.5cm) from front to back. However, it should be noted that The Pro Tools PC actually needs 5U of space in a rack as the chassis is designed to fit with a half U space at the top and bottom. Although the front panel is 4U there are intake fans on the bottom of the chassis and vents in the top that must not be covered for correct cooling performance, and so it’s essential that you leave space to ensure good airflow. You can pick up a pair of half U blank panels from our store to finish off the look of a made to measure system. 

For those who prefer a more traditional vertical tower case we have one of the slickest looking, quietest and most spacious model on the market.

  • TRASHER 3 b18TRASHER 3 Updated to Build 18
    A few weeks back I released TRASHER 3 to coincide with the new features in Pro Tools 2018.1 such as Pro Tools Presets and full implementation of Track Presets. The biggest issue was that I did not have any representation for when a function was in action. So this build is mainly a maintenance release. A progress bar is now added along with buttons to tick or untick all the boxes in the main home tab. There is also a bit of code cleanup and optimization. The UI has been slightly modified a bit as well for the changes. […]
  • Syncing a Mac and PC Pro Tools System by NetworkSyncing 2 Pro Tools Systems via Network
    In this second part of the 2 part series about syncing Pro Tools systems, we go over syncing the systems over a network connection. This does have the advantage of needing 2 interfaces with Midi I/O, but does require a bit more setup and a single network cable or for longer distances, you can connect the systems into a common hub or switch.  […]
  • Sync a Mac and PC Pro Tools SystemSyncing 2 Pro Tools Systems via Midi Cable.
    Syncing 2 Pro Tools systems is an easy way to gain processing power. The most common use for this would be to host VI's on a slave system and then stream them into the master system. In this video, I show how to connect the 2 systems with just a midi cable. There are a few other hurdles to overcome in order to get both systems in sync and deal with latency.   […]
  • TRASHER Updated to Version 3TRASHER Update Including macOS Support
    Avid released Pro Tools 2018.1, with quite a few new features added. I decided to update TRASHER in order catch all the new settings and files. For many reasons, I ultimately decided to rewrite the entire application and go for macOS while I was at it.. I made some other changes internally such as backing up Plug-in Settings for instance is now "smarter". It will cycle through the folder recursively (folder by folder, file by file) and compare names. If a file name matches in an existing folder during a backup or restore, it will replace the file. Otherwise no files are at risk of being lost through a folder dump for example. Anything and everything being replaced or trashed is sent to the recycle bin, so it is recoverable. […]
