![]() The Dynamics & EQ group includes a number of vintage compressors and EQs, and a series of “Pro” dynamics plug-ins that add more sophisticated capabilities, especially for mastering. In the Effects and Reverb categories, the AIR effects there are likewise already included with Pro Tools, but there are also several additional effects in each category that add that add significant features not otherwise available with the basic install the Dynamics & EQ category is made up entirely of high-end plug-ins that were always sold separately, and between those three categories you’ll get most of the real value of the Bundle. As I noted above, there is some overlap with the standard included plug-ins-the Virtual Instruments and Stompboxes here are same ones normally included with Pro Tools, but not Pro Tools First, so users of that beginner’s version would gain something from their inclusion. The CollectionĪvid breaks down the Bundle into five categories: Dynamics & EQ, Effects, Filters, & Emulators, Reverb & Delay, Stompbox effects, and Virtual Instruments. ![]() Let’s take a brief look at what this Bundle has on tap. So what does the Bundle add to the decent set of effects that have always been included with Pro Tools? Quite a lot! There is a little overlap with the included effects-the AIR effects, the instruments and the stompbox effects that previously came with a yearly Pro Tools Support subscription (which, by the way, is now rolled into the annual upgrade subscription, for a $100 saving)-but everything else is new, and many of the processors are more advanced versions of the included tools. that’s a deal that’s too good to pass up, even if you already have a bunch of third-party tools, and for those new to (regular) Pro Tools, it’s a must-have option. Considering the previous cost of assembling this collection of processors. In fact, if you own Pro Tools Ultimate, the entire collection is included for free users of regular Pro Tools have to purchase it as a yearly subscription, for $50/year. Most of these plug-ins had been sold for hundreds of dollars, but the Avid Complete Bundle lowers the cost dramatically. The Bundle fills in several major gaps in the basic included plug-in set, and includes just about every type of processor you might need for recording, mixing, and mastering. This is a comprehensive add-on collection of virtually all of the high-end plug-ins that Avid used to sell separately (at considerable cost). Then last year Avid introduced a major step up in that regard-the Avid Complete Plug-in Bundle. ![]() But for a long time, the collection of plug-ins that came with Pro Tools had remained the same. Over the years Pro Tools has continued to grow and improve bit by bit, adding new features and capabilities.
