The Complete Production Toolkit from Digidesign delivers surround sound mixing along with other post production features to a suitably equipped Pro Tools LE system. The upgrade provides for an expanded track count of 128 mono or 64 stereo tracks at up to 48kHz, or 96 mono (48 stereo) tracks at 96kHz. These track counts are only available when used with Pro Tools 8 software. The toolkit also doubles the Instrument track support from 32 to 64 simultaneous tracks.

The toolkit is an affordable solution for mixing-in up to 7.1 surround while allowing greater compatibility with Pro Tools HD sessions, making it easier than ever to transfer sessions between Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools HD systems. Surround sessions can be monitored directly through the outputs of an 003, 003 Rack, 003 Rack+, Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, or Mbox 2 Pro interface. Additionally, 7.1 sessions can be monitored in stereo through the use of the included Neyrinck SoundCode Stereo plug-in.

A full range of professional music tools includes three virtual instruments. Digidesign's Eleven LE guitar amplifier emulation plug-in delivers the sound of modern and vintage amplifiers, stomp boxes and speaker cabinets. Hybrid 1.5 is a well integrated and full-sounding software synthesizer, while Structure LE fills the need for a sample playback instrument by including over 140 instruments, along with the ability to import other sample libraries and the controls to tweak both.

Processor plug-ins include X-Form for natural sounding stretching, compressing and pitch shifting of audio regions, the Smack LE compressor, and the ability to export mixes as MP3 files using a high quality encoding algorithm. Finally, the TL Space Native Edition delivers a first rate convolution reverb processor along with a wide range of sampled reverb spaces and effects impulses. Additional impulses can be downloaded and easily imported into the plug-in.

Additional post centric functionality includes time code and feet + frames timeline views, replace region and edit to timeline selection commands, continuous scrolling, a scrub trim tool, exporting session info as text, and much more.
