Own an MDM? Switch to Pro Tools, Save $1000

In an effort to increase awareness of the advantages of a Pro Tools digital audio workstation over digital tape-based recording, Digidesign® is offering $1,000 toward the purchase of a Pro Tools|24, Pro Tools|24 MIX or Pro Tools|24 MIXplus system for the trade-in of an Alesis ADAT series, Tascam DA series, Sony PCM800 or Fostex RD8 modular digital multitrack (MDM) recorder. This offer is designed to inspire MDM owners to graduate from a linear tape recorder to the non-linear digital audio recording, mixing, processing and editing capabilities provided by Pro Tools.

To inform customers of this offer, Digidesign is hosting a promotional tour that will feature a head-to-head shootout between an MDM with a mixer and a Pro Tools|24 MIXplus system. Digidesign dealers will be hosting the event, and customers will be able to sign up for the promotion after the presentation. The shootout tour entitled, Is Tape Dead? begins on June 7, 1999.

We believe strongly that Pro Tools is superior to tape-based systems, says Digidesigns vice president of sales & marketing, Chas Smith. More and more professional music projects are being created entirely in Pro Tools, without the use of any tape at all. By offering this generous promotion, we want to underscore the point that, with the expanded processing capabilities of the new MIX platform, Pro Tools has really come of age.
