Introduction

Plug-ins are special-purpose software compo-

nents that provide additional signal processing

functionality to Pro Tools

®

.

The DigiRack™ plug-ins included with

Pro Tools provide a comprehensive suite of dig-

ital signal processing effects that include EQ, dy-

namics, delay, and other essential functions.

Plug-in Formats

There are three formats of plug-ins:

• TDM plug-ins (real-time, DSP-based)

•RTAS

®

plug-ins (real-time, host-based)

• AudioSuite™ plug-ins (non-real-time, ﬁle-

based processing)

TDM Plug-ins

(Pro Tools HD Only)

TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) plug-ins

function as track inserts, are applied to audio

during playback, and process audio non-de-

structively in real time. TDM plug-ins are de-

signed for use with Pro Tools HD software on

Pro Tools|HD

®

systems, and rely on the process-

ing power of Digidesign DSP cards.

The number and variety of TDM plug-ins that

you can use simultaneously in a session are lim-

ited only by the amount of DSP available. You

can increase available DSP by installing addi-

tional DSP cards (such as HD Core, HD Accel, or

HD Process cards) in your computer. This

power-on-demand aspect is a significant advan-

tage of Pro Tools|HD systems.
