For over 20 years Digidesign’s ProTools has been the industry leading platform for audio production, providing the professional music, broadcast, multimedia, and film industries with tools for content creation, post production, collaboration, and distribution. A recording studio based around ProTools HD not only provides an immensely powerful system, providing the full range of modern and traditional recording features, but students gain first hand experience of the world’s most popular music production software.

HHB Communications Ltd is the UK's leading supplier of professional audio technology, having supplied more ProTools HD systems than anyone else in Europe. With over a thousand ProTools HD/Mix customers, HHB has unparalleled experience and the resources to provide comprehensive design, supply, installation and after sales support services.

Together, Digidesign and HHB have worked to identify a range of recording studio packages specifically configured to requirements of educational recording studios. During the summer 2008, HHB is running a promotion on three profiled packages, offering price discounts equivalent to a 25% reduction from RRP.

Each of the profiled recording studio packages include:

• Digidesign Control Surface
• Digidesign HD production platform and audio interfaces
• Comprehensive set of audio plug-in processors provide traditional recording tools as well as a vast range of soft synths and virtual instruments
• Music keyboards and midi triggers
• Digidesign RM1 or 2 professional audio monitors
• Professional quality cabling looms for studio microphones and control room equipment
• Apple MacPro computer with Apple Cinema displays, three year warranty contract and peripherals (the system can also be run on a Windows computer)
• HHB CDR882 CD based audio recorder
• Musician headphone distribution
• AKA Design studio furniture
• System design, installation, training and support

(itemised equipment can be found in the profiles package details)

The value of money of these systems is enhanced by the inclusion of Digidesign training resources (a staff training day and 10 set of Digidesign's 101 course work) and on-going support by the AppleCare and DigiDesign Assuance contracts. These services help to empower teaching staff to sucessfully run the facility as well as providing a rapid response to warranty issues. These packages are based on systems already supplied to educational and commercial music production facilities.

HHB appreciates that every installation will have a unique set of requirements and that variations and alterations to these packages will need to be discussed. The packages are made up from modular and custom manufactured parts, and it is often possible to configure an alternative combination of modules to create a fully tailored installation. Package pricing maybe affected by these variations. In addition there are popular upgrade options, including surround sound monitoring, 100s of software plug-in applications, audio for video post production options, etc.
