asjksjkh!!!! <-- The Promised Excitement via Keyboard

Happiness is:



So you know like the first time you get high, on oh, let's say crack, and you think how the hell did you ever live without it? Yeah, replace the word 'crack' with 'Pro Tools 8', and that is about the only opinion that every cell in my body can agree upon.

I am currently going through every plug-in that comes with PT8, and judging it only in the way that I can: With the correct-and-undisputed opinion of its' feature's advantages and disadvantages. Expect the Overview of Awesome Materialized to be posted soon... maybe. Well, expect it to be posted if I can get over my excitement by stopping my workflow to jump up and down in my chair with unadulterated giddiness. (I really wish I was exaggerating on this fact, but alas, the chair jumping-in thing has been occurring, and occurring frequently).

Digidesign Preview PT8

Yes, I am obsessed with this: Go here now.

I love you Digi, probably more than some of my family members, but I have to say that dark steel gray looks a hell of a lot like Logic Pro.

PRO TOOLS 8: CONFIRMED

This just in from mixonline.com

DIGIDESIGN PRO TOOLS 8: Pro Tools 8 (which includes Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered) has been completely updated with a new user interface, dozens of new bundled plug-ins (including five new virtual instruments and 20 effects), fully integrated MIDI and score editors, and expanded editing features. The user interface is enhanced with a more modern color palette and higher-contrast text and graphics, yet the key functions users rely on are still right where they should be, while enhancements—such as dockable Editor windows and a configurable Edit Window toolbar—make it easier to navigate than ever. Pro Tools 8 software will be available in late 2008 for Windows Vista (32-bit Business or Ultimate), Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)-based Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered systems. AES Booth: #702.

I think I'm in love... modern color palette? 20 new effects? 5.. virtual.. instruments... dockable editor windows.. sigh.
