When you purchase Pro Tools | Duet, you’ll also receive your choice of two incredible Avid plug-ins to keep—one Tier 2 high-quality plug-in and one Tier 3 premium plug-in.

Hardware features

Sound amazing

Pro Tools | Duet features cutting-edge technology that delivers a difference you can hear. From audio recordings to plug-ins and virtual instruments, every facet of your mix is rendered in detail through state-of-the-art A/D and D/A conversion. And with its world-class mic preamps and professional-level I/O, you get the legendary sound quality you need to deliver the best mixes possible.

Achieve rich sonic fidelity

Retain your original audio source’s full impact, warmth, and dimension with dynamically optimized mic preamps. Featuring Apogee’s Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture, these preamps provide superior bandwidth, ultra-low noise, and up to 75 dB of transparent gain. You also get protection against digital distortion, enabling you to optimize recordings with several more decibels of apparent loudness.

Capture every detail

Record your vocal and guitar performances at the same time in studio-quality 24-bit/192 kHz audio resolution. With the breakout cable, you can capture up to two sources simultaneously using the mic/instrument combo inputs. And monitor your performance—or send sound to outboard gear—using the two 1/4-inch line/speaker outputs and/or stereo headphone output.
