Digidesign Pro Tools HD3 Accel System with PCIe

Serious professionals use Pro Tools|HD®. No other digital audio workstation (DAW) is used more in top music studios, post-production and broadcast facilities, editing suites, and mobile production trucks worldwide. With amazing sound quality, unmatched processing power, and great flexibility, Pro Tools|HD empowers you to deliver top-quality productions efficiently and with ease, from first take to final mix.


The most powerful of the base Core systems, Pro Tools|HD® 3 Accel supports extremely large and complex sessions, leveraging the power-on-demand capabilities of three dedicated DSP cards along with the processing resources of your Windows- or Mac-based computer*, delivering rock-solid performance, low latency, guaranteed track counts, and extended plug-in processing power. It’s also the best starting point for building an expanded system.

Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel also comes with industry-standard Pro Tools HD software and over 60 professional sound processing plug-ins, virtual instruments, and compatible applications, allowing you to compose, record, edit, sequence, and mix music projects or sound for picture.



Choose an Audio Interface -
In addition, you’ll need to choose at least one Pro Tools|HD audio interface (sold separately) to complete your basic system — add more interfaces to expand your I/O capabilities, and integrate other Pro Tools|HD options to meet your project and workflow needs.

Explore Your Options -
There are plenty of Pro Tools|HD options available to satisfy your needs, whether you want full hands-on control of Pro Tools|HD through an ICON console or control surface, need to work with sound for picture, require certain cable connections, or something else. And don’t forget the not-so-secret weapons of every Pro Tools user — plug-ins, plug-ins, plug-ins.


Expand Your Power -
Pro Tools|HD lets you easily expand the power of your system as your needs and business grow. Increase your processing power, as well as track and channel counts, by adding one or more HD Accel cards to your Core system, allowing you to mix even the largest, most complex sessions with ease.
