Digidesign announced an update to version 6.7cs4 for Pro Tools TDM and LE systems. This new release fixes: Attack and Release controls on Smack! plug-in would respond slowly when adjusted by control surfaces (TDL & LE versions), lunching a session with/or creating a session with over 16 mono bus or output paths may result in a crash (TDM version only).

TimeToyPro is a Mac OSX application for adding neat time-stretching effects to your audio files. It's fun and easy to use, and best of all really cheap, note that the basic version is absolutely free. In TimeToyPro you can draw a graph to plot out crazy time variations which are executed in real-time. Registered users can even drag the mouse across a sound's waveform to perform fixed-pitch audio scrubbing and freeze effects.

All info about this new version and download available in the MM softs section.
