There was a lot exciting news packed into the recent Pro Tools 12.2 release announcement so we wanted to dig in a little deeper and explore what this all means to you. To start with behind the scenes at Avid, both of our new VP/Chief Product Officer Dana Ruzicka and VP of Audio Products Tim Carroll, (with a combined 38 years at Avid!), are both longtime recording musicians as well as Pro Tools users and much of what you see changing here has been crafted by them, and much has been a result of your feedback in the community.
