Digidesign Pro Tools 8 (Mac/Win, $149.95-$249.95)
The DAW category was a highly competitive one, with almost all of the major players offering strong new versions. However, Digidesign Pro Tools 8 eked out the win thanks to the quality and quantity of its new features, which significantly improved an already excellent application. Pro Tools 8 highlights include an expanded plug-in collection (featuring four new virtual instruments), the Elastic Pitch feature and a redesigned user interface, which has been improved in both form and function. Add in the new Sibelius-powered Score Editor and the MIDI Editor window, and you’ve got yourself a winner.
