Digidesign has announced Pro Tools 7.3 (Mac/Win; from $49 to $199) for Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered systems. Version 7.3 has new music composition tools, customizable user enhancements, and improved post production workflows.

New features include Dynamic Transport mode, which allows playback to operate independently of the current selection; the Loop Trim tool, which allows you to turn audio or MIDI regions into loops; and the Window Configurations tool that lets you store and recall up to 99 window layouts. Also included are new key signature features, loop preview options, and click track features.

Pro Tools 7.3 connects to Sibelius notation software (sold separately) with a new “Send to Sibelius” menu command, enabling you to export entire Pro Tools MIDI compositions or individual tracks to Sibelius to print arrangements or instrumental parts.
