With Pro Tools native, you can play back up to 128 simultaneous stereo tracks at 48kHz, 64 tracks at 96kHz, or 32 tracks at 192kHz, with up to 32 tracks of simultaneous recording. Over time, the money for one of the subscription services might work out if you usually buy the latest upgrades, but it's almost guaranteed to be more expensive like this otherwise if you want ongoing support.

You can also commit to a full year up front and pay $29.99 per month, or prepay the year for $299 and save more.

With that price, you still own it forever, but you only get 12 months worth of software updates, which is frustrating a support subscription costs $34.99 per month after that, at which point you also get full version upgrades as they're made available. The middle version (called just Pro Tools, or informally 'the native version,' and the one I tested for this review) costs $599 with a Perpetual license. This convoluted workaround still makes it difficult to recommend First over, say, the surprisingly powerful PreSonus Studio One Prime, but if you need to learn Pro Tools, this is the only way to do it for free. Avid relaxed this somewhat in mid-2019 to theoretically let you make unlimited local saves, but they're stored in a cache and are still not separate project files you must choose three at any one time to sync to the cloud as full projects that can be shared with others. It certainly lets you learn your way around the program, but you only get three genuine project saves, and they must be in the cloud with an Avid account. Pro Tools First gives you 16 audio and 16 MIDI tracks, with the ability to record up to four at once from four inputs. There are three main versions of Pro Tools.

Pro Tools is our Editors' Choice for PC-based recording software while it's equally awesome on the Mac side, Apple Logic Pro X edges it out there thanks to its robust feature set and unbeatable value. Pro Tools remains expensive, but it's still the best audio editing app for larger studios with lots of outboard hardware and the need for extensive support networks, and its workflow remains second to none. Aside from the much-maligned move to a subscription-based support model, Avid has steadily improved Pro Tools over the years. The loudspeaker grille is off to the side and it boasts Dirac Power Sound tech, a collaboration between Realme and Dirac that optimizes the audio quality from the speaker while reducing distortion.For many musicians, recording engineers, and producers alike-at Abbey Road Studios and Skywalker Sound, right on down to the smallest bedroom studios-Pro Tools feels like home. This is the same combo that we saw on Realme X (the 3 Pro had VOOC 3.0 but it used a microUSB port instead).Р”Р„lso on the bottom is the 3.5mm headphone jack (Realme has never made a phone without a jack). And this is VOOC 3.0 charging we're talking about here, it delivers 20W of power (5V 4A). The good news is that it now charges over USB-C. However, the battery still has the same capacity of 4,035mAh.

The new phone is thicker than the 3 Pro - 8.9mm vs. So, definitely don't dunk the phone in water, but Realme may be underselling the water-resistance of the handset. We're curious why Realme isn't claiming proper water resistance - most IP68 rely on a similar setup with rubber gaskets and rings around the holes in the frame. It used a combination of glue, a rubber gasket and rings to secure internal components and make sure that no water seeps through the USB or headphone jacks, the card slot or any gap between the frame and the back cover. Realme put a lot of work into making the phone splash resistant. However, it uses Gorilla Glass 3+ - an older version of the Corning glass, while the Realme 3 Pro had GG5 (which boasts increased drop resistance). It's an LCD panel as before with 1080p+ resolution. The teardrop notch is 30% smaller, though, so it's less obtrusive.

It kept the screen size at 6.3' with similarly-sized bezels. Unlike its sibling, the Realme 5 Pro stayed the same as its predecessor.
