Dave Froker, CEO of Focusrite PLC, comments, "We want to make the experience of using Focusrite hardware and Pro Tools software together the best possible experience for all our customers. Avid recognises Focusrite as an ideal companion to Pro Tools and Focusrite recognise Pro Tools as the most mature professional recording platform for new Focusrite customers to adopt.
"Focusrite are the largest manufacturer of audio interfaces in the world and their interfaces are the industry standard; from the Scarlett Solo interface for musicians just starting out on their recording journey, to their ground-breaking RedNet audio-over-IP interfaces, used by audio professionals in live, broadcast and of course, music Rrecording."
"Avid is committed to giving artists the tools they need to create the best-sounding audio possible," said Tim Carroll, VP of audio products, Avid. "Focusrite shares that passion and is a key strategic addition to the rapidly growing number of leading technology providers that are using the Avid Connectivity Toolkit and Avid certification programs to develop solutions with that goal in mind. Focusrite interfaces provide the ideal hardware solution for Pro Tools."
Avid and Focusrite will announce further details of their collaboration in the spring of 2016.
