Meet the 003 Family — the New Pro Tools LE Generation

If you're looking to attain the same professional audio production quality as commercial music and post production facilities in your own personal studio, Digidesign’s new 003 family provides everything you need to compose, perform, record, sequence, edit, mix, master, and promote your audio creations.

003™ Factory provides powerful hands-on control of Pro Tools® through its integrated control surface and offers a wide range of audio and MIDI I/O, high-definition audio resolution, the creativity and speed of industry-standard Pro Tools LE® software, high-speed FireWire connectivity, and over 80 professional instrument and effects plug-ins, compatible applications, sound libraries, and services, including the new Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 Pro and premium Factory software bundle.

003™ Rack provides all of the same I/O, audio capabilities, and connectivity as its controlling 003 brother, but packages everything together in a streamlined 2U rack. It also includes Pro Tools LE software and comes bundled with over 60 professional instrument and effects plug-ins, compatible applications, sound libraries, and services, including the new Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 bundle. 003 Rack has a fraternal twin — 003™ Rack Factory — which features the same 003 Rack studio, but is packaged with Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 Pro and the premium Factory software bundle.

New Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 Bundles Offer More Software, Added Value

When it comes to getting the most out of your Pro Tools system, the Pro Tools Ignition Pack, a powerful bundle of creative software and tools that comes free with all Pro Tools|HD® and Pro Tools LE systems, has been the go-to resource for years. Now Digidesign has greatly enhanced and expanded the bundle — and created a second premium edition. The new Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 and bigger Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 Pro offer more software than ever before, giving you everything you need — and then some — to compose, record, sequence, edit, mix, and master audio for music or post production. Both bundles feature an unprecedented collection of professional effects and signal processing plug-ins, amazing virtual instruments, high-quality sounds, and creative applications that all work with Pro Tools, plus much more!

Digidesign is officially kicking off its worldwide public beta program for Structure™ — a powerful, forthcoming RTAS® virtual instrument plug-in designed by the Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group that will redefine the art of sampling — and wants you to help make it the best sampling powerhouse on the planet.
