Pro Tools applications and help tools

In this post I’ve listed all the standalone applications I could think of that in some way aids Pro Tools or Pro Tools users. Some of them do very simple and specific things, tools that are just handy to keep around, others are large multi-purpose applications intended for the big production studios.

Note: Some of these are old, very old, and not intended for use with later versions of Pro Tools. I listed them anyway because, well, not everyone is using a later version of Pro Tools.

There are 5 kickass comments ~ what do you think?

  1. Although they are plug-ins, you could also add Massey’s free bundle, specifically for the “Slacker” and “Recall Notes” plug-ins. They help to manage sessions, Slacker by backing up your audio files to a secondary folder, and Recall Notes by giving you a place to notate the settings of outboard gear:

  2. If you do mention Massey; don’t forget the AWESOME talkback plug in.
    Also check the protools preset co-op : http://www.digitalaudiorock.com/
    And for all people still using an old PCI protools system with Pinnacles Miromotion DC30 for video playback the awesome drivers by Squared 5 can’t be missed….
