Teaming Up With The Best

We are delighted to have them team up with Pro Tools Expert, we'll be bringing lots of exclusive content on the blog and the podcast aimed at giving Pro Tools Windows PC users in the community even more top quality content, with tips, tricks and more.

Spec Up Your RADAR

What many people are unaware of is that you can start from the ground up using their Workstation Mode (Embedded Windows) and run it as your Pro Tools computer then over time grow it into a full blown RADAR system. There's a spec and build option here, you can even choose to have them install Pro Tools before it ships and simply plug your iLok in when it arrives.

iZ Technology say "RADAR has always been the best digital audio recorder, and now it's the best DAW host. Running Pro Tools, you can track, mix, and automate, using all the plugins and features your workflow requires. With so many prosumer and professional audio interfaces on the market, it’s hard to know where to start. For the price of a mid-grade interface and a properly spec’d audio PC, why not buy the finest digital audio recorder ever made?"
