Sound Tools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sound Tools was the first digital audio workstation released by Digidesign in the late 1980s. Its successor is the music industry standard, Pro Tools.

It consisted of a NuBus DSP Card (Sound Accelerator II), Digital Interface (DAT I/O), Analog Interface (AD In) and software (Sound Designer II). It was later replaced by Sound Tools II, which utilized an improved DSP Card (Sound Accelerator II/2) and Interface (442 I/O, same as used in the original Pro Tools system).

It provided mono or stereo recording/editing/playback, as well as DSP effects like EQ, Gain Change, and noise reduction.
