The Classic Compressors Bundle - which includes BF-2A, BF-3A, Purple Audio MC77, Fairchild 660, and Fairchild 670 - gives you software reproductions of incredible vintage compressors. These compressors look, sound, and work just like the classic hardware that shaped the sound of popular music over the last 40 years. Bring some mojo to your mix - get the Classic Compressors Bundle today.

Channel Strip

Get the renowned channel strip of the System 5 - one of the most sought-after consoles used to create some of the greatest music mixes and film/TV soundtracks ever produced - without the expense. Avid Channel Strip is a high-quality, high-performance, easy-to-use AAX plugin that enables you to use the same EQ, Dynamics, Filter, and Gain effects algorithms found in the console, in your Pro Tools Artist mixes.

Dynamics III

Designed for both Pro Tools and Avid editing systems, Dynamics III is a professional plugin suite that includes a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, and De-Esser, each in an easy-to-use interface. Dynamics III offers simple ways to apply dynamics processing in mono, stereo, or in a full range of surround formats*. It also integrates easily with control surfaces and consoles - including VENUE live sound systems - giving you direct, hands-on control of functions.

Focusrite d2/d3

Modeled after their Red Range hardware counterparts, the Focusrite d2 and d3 plugins deliver high-quality equalization and professional dynamic control. d2 is designed for the audio professional who requires the highest levels of performance and maximum versatility in a software-based equalizer, providing multiple modular configurations. d3 provides flexibility and versatility through separate insert configurations in addition to its highly impressive sonic characteristics.

Both the d2 and d3 interfaces closely emulate their respective sibling Red Range hardware units, with their red brushed-aluminum panel graphics, illuminated push buttons and rotary control knobs.

Impact

Go from subtle dynamics smoothing to extreme compression squashing. Impact features a clean and well-organized user interface that emulates the look of a console mix bus compressor. With support for multichannel tracks up to 7.1 and sampling rates up to 192 kHz, Impact is ideal for professional music and post environments where critical control of dynamic program material is essential.

Impact includes four selectable compression ratios and variable controls for Attack, Release, Threshold, and Make-up Gain. The interface features a Gain Reduction meter that replicates an analog meter with an animated bouncing needle, displaying authentic ballistics as it meters gain reduction. Impact also includes a side-chain input, enabling you to use any Pro Tools audio track as an external key.

Maxim

If you want your Pro Tools tracks to have that professionally mastered sheen, add Maxim to your list of "must have" plugins. More than just a world-class peak limiter, Maxim optimizes the overall level of the audio input while preserving the integrity of the original sound. Although Maxim is ideally suited to the stereo master of a mix, it's flexible enough to be used as a dynamics processor on any channel. Maxim also offers built-in dithering, on-line help, and a full-color Histogram, making it ideal for mixing and mastering in any Pro Tools environment.

Pultec Bundle

Featuring smooth, sweet EQ and an extremely high-quality tube audio signal path, Pultec equalizers are renowned for their versatility and ease of use - grab a knob, give it a twist, and everything sounds great. The Pultec Bundle features three classic equalizer plugins, including the Pultec EQP-1A, Pultec EQH-2, and Pultec MEQ-5. Based on studio classics from the early 1960s, Pultec EQ plugins look, sound, and behave like real analog EQs. And they sound great on just about anything - from instruments, to vocals, to stereo mixes for mastering.

Smack

If you want a great-sounding, flexible, and easy-to-use compression tool, this is it. Smack! is a professional compressor/limiter plugin designed specifically for music applications - but it can handle virtually any kind of audio material with amazing results.

Featuring three compression modes, unique compression ratios, and harmonic distortion, Smack! will help you bring a wide range of sonic variation to your mix. The plugin supports sidechain processing, multichannel track types, and the full range of Pro Tools sample rates and plugin formats. Automatic gain reduction controls the volume of just about any source - in a very musical manner - adding fullness, intelligibility, and excitement to any track. Plus, an intuitive interface with the look and feel of vintage devices enables you to create a huge range of tonal coloration with a minimal set of controls.

Pro Tools Artist also includes Celemony Melodyne 5 essential!
Even if you wish to do nothing more than make minor corrections to your vocals from time to time, there's no need to dispense with Melodyne. Because Melodyne essential - besides being extremely easy to use  - offers the same Grammy Award-winning sound quality as the larger editions.

In addition to the features listed above, Melodyne essential offers:

• All the algorithms except DNA: This means you can edit monophonic vocal and instrumental tracks, as well as drums, and even entire mixes (by time-stretching or transposing them, for instance). All that's missing is the ability to edit individual notes played by polyphonic instruments such as the piano or guitar.
• Melodynes Main Tool: With the Main Tool, you can edit each note's pitch, timing and duration as well as note separations. This - combined with the macros for pitch, timing and dynamics - allows you to make simple improvements fast, without having to deal with the more advanced functions.
• In a nutshell: Melodyne essential is the easy-access point of entry to Melodyne's unique editing environment - with the option of upgrading to a larger edition at any time, for only the difference in the price of the two editions.

Celemony Melodyne 5 essential
Get unrivaled access to all the musical details in your audio recordings and samples to fix pitchy notes, create harmonies, adjust timing, transpose sections, change tempo, produce unique effects, and much more. Melodyne is a powerful note-based audio editing tool that enables you to correct, enhance, or completely transform vocal and instrument performances, quickly and easily.

Reshape sounds with more musical results
Melodyne uses sophisticated analysis that delves deeply into your recordings, identifying all notes and recognizing the musical relationships between them. This enables you to edit the pitch, vibrato, volume, sibilants, length, timing, and formants of any note* easily - without detection - using ingenious algorithms that deliver superior sound.

Correct Pitch Naturally
With smart tools for pitch correction that enable you to modify the intonation and vibrato* of a performance, you can make vocals sound perfectly in tune while keeping the vitality, presence, and penetration of the performance intact. The result is a flawless vocal track that sounds like it's never been touched.

Modify Any Instrument or Sample
Melodyne isn't just for vocals - you can use it on any recorded or sampled sound. With Melodyne essential, you can edit individual notes of monophonic sources, such as percussive and single-note instruments, and transpose, quantize, and re-tempo all types of instruments. With higher editions, you can edit all types of instruments and even edit single notes within chords.

Experiment and Edit with Exceptional Speed
Whether you're correcting a performance or embellishing one with extreme effects, getting the results you want is fast and easy. Its unique "blobs" approach to editing enables you to not only hear but see, move, and modify notes intuitively. You can even make modifications automatically through intelligent macros.
