“We’re very proud to be representing such a fantastic suite of powerful applications,” remarked Bentley. “I’ve worked in Mac-based technologies for more than 20 years, and the ToolsOnAir just: Broadcast Suite of products stands out as one of the most impressive and innovative I’ve had the pleasure to work with.”

The Hot Shop at Tacoma’s Museum of Glass is a cacaphonous, fast-paced environment. A single Community ENTASYS system has replaced four conventional speakers to meet the museum’s audio needs.

Pro Tools 8 and M-Audio Keep the Creativity Alive No Matter Where They Travel

Linkin Park have never been a band that’s easily pigeon-holed. The band’s innovative mélange of musical styles has garnered them a fan base that spans hip hop, metal, rock and pop, and their cutting-edge, interactive communication with those fans has resulted in a loyal following few other groups can match.

For chart-topping producer/remixer Jez Colin, the studio is more than just a place to work; it’s an instrument in and of itself, and a major part of his creative palette. And with the introduction of Pro Tools 8, it’s taken on an even larger role.

“Pro Tools has always been the focal point of my working canvas,” he says. “Everything in the creative process happens in Pro Tools for me, from conceiving ideas through mixdown and mastering.”

Brian Tyler is one musician who simply won’t be pigeon-holed. His musical history includes stints in numerous orchestras, choirs and ensembles, as well as in rock bands with the likes of Elton John and Slash. As a first-call film composer, he’s equally comfortable writing for an orchestra or a hip hop score, and Pro Tools 8 is the only software versatile enough to keep up.

“People ask me what my main instrument is, and at first I think of piano or guitar,” he says, “but really, for the past twelve years, Pro Tools has been my main axe.”
