Hi. Yes, you need a hardware device to run pro tools. You can also buy pro tools m powered, which will work with certain m audio interfaces including the project mix control surface/interface.
All the packages I'll list include pro tools as well as various plug ins etc. for pro tools le setups, the most basic is the m box 2 mini, which is a uSB interface. that package usually sells for approx $295. Next, you've got the m box 2, $449, which is USB, then the m box pro, $699, which is firewire. All the interfaces from there on out are firewire. You've got the 003r which is a 2u rack interface, starting at around $1199, then the 003 which is an interface and control surface with motorized faders, that starts at a bit over $2k. the factory and factory complete bundles of those interfaces have more plug ins... there is also the command 8, which is just a dedicated control surface... moving up from there, you've got the control 24, which is around $25k... and tdm systems, unlike le systems, require PCI cards which handle dsp processing and audio i/o... I hope that gives you a bit of an idea.

Hi Slau and others on the list, Isn't pro tools very expensive, and does it need any special equipment, such as sound cards, control surfaces etc? /Krister 10 mar 2010 kl. 16.38 skrev Slau Halatyn: > No date yet.

I'm not much a journalist, but I'd imagine you'd use the same editing techniques as you would to remaster a song. I'm hoping to get myself into a professional audio course in college here in Maine and if anyone has any help/suggestions please let me know. >>> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricardo Walker" <rwalker...@gmail.com> >>> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> >>> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 7:38 AM >>> Subject: Re: possible other audio editor...for journalists at least? >>> >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> Most of those issues with audacity are fixed in the new accessible version for Mac.

As it stands right now, it's not accessible, the journalist edition looks like i remember Audacity, many unknowns.
