The Story of Pro Tools
The art of manipulating digital audio has evolved with, and been
dramatically influenced by, the evolution of Pro Tools. Introduced in 1991 by
Digidesign, Pro Tools helped pioneer the concept of multi-track digital audio
recording and is recognized for having revolutionized the audio recording
industry. While the Pro Tools 11 release introduces enhanced capabilities
across the platform, the core functionality of Pro Tools traces its roots to
humble beginnings and the experimental work of the company’s founders,
Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks.
In the Beginning
In the early 1980s, Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks were college band-mates
searching for a new sound. In their quest, the two devised a process for
recording drum and percussion sounds onto computer EPROM chips.
Recognizing a growing market in electronic music, Peter and Evan began
offering their chips for retail. Soon they were producing multiple chip sets,
including Rock Drums, Electronic Drums, Latin Percussion, Sound Effects,
and more.
