Pro Tools LE systems are software systems capable of serving up 32-track project studios and they are really good for the price. You can record, edit, mix and master with these systems with ease.

The LE systems rely exclusively on the processing power of your computer’s CPU. That means you can’t have specific computer setups to run these software programs. The speed, power and RAM in your computer will determine how many plug-in effects and software synthesizers you can run at one time. Don’t you just love the Pro Tools Recording Guide?
