How to Use ProControl With Pro Tools LE

The Pro Control from Avid Technology is a mixing board and audio interface that is designed for use with Avid's Pro Tools audio software. The Pro Control allows for users to input, record, edit, mix and master audio and MIDI all from the unit rather than the digital mixers and editors in Pro Tools. This gives users a more hands-on experience with their work. The Pro Control is designed specifically for Pro Tools, so it is not compatible with other audio programs.
