PROFESSIONAL
RECORDING & MIXING
The continued growth of the award-winning Pro Tools digital audio workstation has fueled interest
in professional products that provide sophisticated control of the recording, editing, processing, and
mixing functions of the core system. To meet this demand, Digidesign created the ICON integrated
console environment, a system that offers the feel and functionality of standalone mixing consoles—
but at a much lower price. The initial success of ICON—with 150 systems sold in the first six
months to film and television postproduction suites, music mixing studios, and educational
institutions—demonstrates that the recording industry is ready for a new approach toward mixing.
AUDIO
The ICON integrated audio production environment
combines the D-Control™tactile work surface with a
ProTools|HD®Accel system as the coreDSP engine.
For Avid’s audio division, Digidesign, the ongoing shift away from linear
recording toward computer-based production has opened opportunities
for professionals and home recordists alike.
