Admittedly I’m not as big of a gear head these days as I once was, but I do still geek out a bit on new Pro Tools features.

It’s been some time since Digidesign released any major hardware and software upgrades, and I’d be willing to bet we could easily see Pro Tools 8 coming in early October at AES. I’m not entirely sure how things will be improved, but I’d imagine multi-processor support will be worked on a bit, as well as a general push towards integrating more virtual instruments.

Anybody have any thoughts or guesses on what to expect? Rumors?
